Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Government Code to include the NRA's annual meetings and exhibits as an eligible 'event' for the major events reimbursement program and names the NRA as a 'site selection organization.' This provides state funding eligibility for a major firearms-related convention but does not change any laws on buying, owning, carrying, or regulating firearms themselves.
