Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new criminal offense under Penal Code §46.03 for carrying handguns or certain other weapons on public library premises, overriding the general allowance in §46.02(a-5) for licensed handgun carry. This directly restricts the ability to carry firearms and specified weapons in those locations.
