MODERATE

The bill was completely rewritten to shift its focus from regulating public transit operations to establishing criminal penalties for unlawful weapon use. The original text, which covered transit fares and facility rules, was removed and replaced with a new version that specifically criminalizes carrying firearms into schools, churches, and government buildings, as well as discharging weapons in public spaces.

Scope change

The bill's scope changed from a broad set of regulations governing public transportation systems to a specific statute defining criminal offenses related to the possession and discharge of weapons in sensitive locations.

SCOPE

All provisions regarding public transit fares, ticketing, parking rules, and passenger conduct were deleted.

REQUIREMENT

New criminal penalties were added for carrying concealed weapons into restricted areas, discharging firearms near schools or churches, and possessing a firearm while intoxicated.

A new provision was added prohibiting the possession of a firearm while simultaneously in possession of a controlled substance sufficient for a felony violation.

ELIGIBILITY

Specific exemptions were created for law enforcement, judges, and other officials who carry weapons as part of their official duties.
