on the premises of a polling place on the day of an election or while early voting is in progress, unless: (A) the person possesses or goes with a concealed handgun that the person is licensed to carry under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and no other weapon to which this section applies; and (B) the polling place is not at a location where the possession of a concealed handgun is otherwise prohibited by state law;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code §46.03(a) to create an exception allowing concealed-handgun license holders to carry at polling places during elections or early voting (with a carve-out if state law otherwise prohibits it there), which expands the ability to carry firearms in those locations. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
