Introduced
by
To revise the “carry concealed weapon” (CCW) law to allow permit holders to carry in a restaurant where less than half the sales are alcohol, and in parking lots of schools, churches, day care centers, hospitals and major entertainment venues. The bill would require a county gun board, upon request of the permit applicant, to review medical records in closed session, with the proceedings exempt from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Open Meetings Act. CCW license fees would be increased, but the permit would be good for five years rather than three years. The bill would delete the CCW prohibition for persons who have been convicted of certain misdemeanors; make slight revisions to the training requirements; make courtrooms a "no carry zone”; generally reduce the penalties for certain license violations; and extend the list of law enforcement personnel and auxiliaries exempt from the CCW requirements and "no carry zone" provisions.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one which requires the Liquor Control Commission to develop a uniform sign for use by restaurants which choose to ban legally armed citizen. It exempts from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) restaurant records provided to show the proportion of business that comes from alcohol sales, removes a FOIA exemption on the release of lists of CCW applicants and denials, but not on personal medical information. The substitute also adds some additional misdemeanors that would prohibit a person from getting a CCW.
