Weapons: other; gun-free zones; expand to include all buildings owned or leased by this state. Amends sec. 234d of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.234d).
This bill expands Michigan's gun-free zone laws to include all buildings owned, operated, or leased by the state, with the exception of state-owned shooting ranges. The legislation directly affects individuals who possess firearms in state facilities such as government offices, administrative buildings, and other state property. Key provisions amend existing statutes to clarify that state buildings fall under gun-free zone restrictions while maintaining exemptions for licensed concealed carry permit holders, peace officers, and security personnel performing their duties. The bill also retains existing restrictions on firearms in polling places, election-related locations, and other designated areas like schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Violations of these provisions could result in civil infractions or criminal penalties depending on the severity and frequency of the offense.
