↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Expands the list of officers and retired law enforcement who may carry weapons in public establishments and removes some conditions on when community supervision and juvenile probation officers may carry, so greater ability to carry firearms.
An establishment serving the public may not prohibit or otherwise restrict a peace officer, a special investigator, a community supervision and corrections department officer, or a juvenile probation officer described by Section 46.15(a)(1), (3), or (9), Penal Code, as applicable, from carrying on the establishment's premises a weapon that the officer or investigator is otherwise authorized to carry, regardless of whether the officer or investigator is engaged in the actual discharge of the officer's or investigator's duties while carrying the weapon.

↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Expands the offense of taking a weapon from certain public-safety officers to include juvenile probation officers and renames the section accordingly, so broader criminal liability for disarming those officers.
A person commits an offense if the person intentionally or knowingly and with force takes or attempts to take from a peace officer, federal special investigator, employee or official of a correctional facility, parole officer, community supervision and corrections department officer, juvenile probation officer, or commissioned security officer the officer's, investigator's, employee's, or official's firearm, nightstick, stun gun, or personal protection chemical dispensing device.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands carry rights for community supervision officers, juvenile probation officers, and qualified retired law enforcement by removing duty restrictions and prohibiting public establishments from restricting their carry (firearms/carry, expands). It also broadens the Penal Code 38.14 offense to cover disarming juvenile probation officers (firearms/other, restricts). All changes are to firearms carry authority and related criminal liability; no other listed topics are substantively addressed.
