Makes it legally costly for businesses to post signs prohibiting concealed handguns by imposing liability for any criminal act on the premises, so more ability to carry firearms in businesses.
A person with control over the premises of a business who prohibits entry on the premises by a license holder with a concealed handgun by posting a sign on the premises as described by Section 30.06, Penal Code, is liable for damages arising from a criminal act occurring on the premises.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates civil liability for businesses that post 30.06 signs prohibiting concealed carry by license holders, for any criminal act damages on premises. This is a firearms/preemption-sanctuary provision that expands the ability to carry by deterring businesses from restricting it.
