Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Education Code provisions to expressly authorize uniformed school marshals to openly carry handguns on school premises (previously limited to concealed carry) and removes a storage-in-locked-container mandate for junior-college marshals while on duty; both changes reduce restrictions on firearm carry and storage by authorized personnel.
