Lawful carry and possession of firearms at the State Fairgrounds authorized.

HF 126 allows legally carried firearms at Minnesota's State Fairgrounds by amending statutes to prevent the State Agricultural Society (which operates the fairgrounds) from banning lawful firearm possession. The bill clarifies that fairgrounds bylaws cannot prohibit firearms consistent with Minnesota's gun laws, while maintaining existing rules for private establishments (like requiring conspicuous "no guns" signs at entrances). It directly affects attendees, vendors, and staff at the State Fairgrounds, ensuring they can carry legally permitted firearms there. The changes take effect August 1, 2025, and do not override rules for parking areas or peace officer access.
