Why the model tagged it this way: The bill narrows the geographic scope of firearm prohibitions and school threat offenses around schools from any school-owned property to within 1,000 feet of the boundary line, adds explicit defenses for carry on authorized private property and locked vehicle storage in transit, and updates cross-references to reflect the new firearm subsection; these changes reduce restrictions on lawful firearm carry and possession near schools without adding new bans or requirements.
