Visitor carrying of firearms on campuses of public postsecondary institutions regulated.

This bill allows public colleges and universities in Minnesota to create policies restricting firearms carried by visitors on campus property. Under the new rules, institutions can require visitors to leave if they violate firearm policies, and those who refuse to comply face a petty misdemeanor charge with a fine of up to $25. The law also clarifies that firearms violating these campus policies will not be subject to forfeiture, and it maintains that employers and schools cannot ban firearms in parking facilities. This change directly affects public postsecondary institutions and their ability to manage visitor access to campus grounds.
