Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the definition of 'federal judge' in Government Code §411.201(a)(2) by adding immigration court judges (and deleting the 'or' before the prior last category), expanding the group eligible for a special license to carry a handgun. This is a firearms carry expansion with no other covered topics.
