Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new prohibition on possession of firearms and certain other weapons in specific hospital settings (those providing mental health or developmental services), with limited exceptions and a notice requirement. This directly restricts the ability to carry firearms in those locations. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
