Firearms prohibited in buildings owned by or under the control of state or local governments, and criminal penalties provided.
This bill prohibits individuals from possessing firearms in buildings owned or controlled by state or local governments in Minnesota, with exceptions for licensed peace officers, military personnel on duty, and those with written permission from the building's supervisor. The law classifies violations as a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both, and applies to buildings used for government administration. The prohibition takes effect on August 1, 2026, and does not apply to locations already covered by existing firearm restrictions in other subdivisions of the same statute.
