Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends preemption statutes to grant municipalities and counties new authority to regulate or prohibit firearm carry specifically on library premises (with exceptions for peace officers, military, and licensed security), which is a carve-out from statewide preemption that previously barred such local rules. This expands local regulatory power over carry in those places, resulting in a net restriction on the ability to carry firearms there.
