BAN FIREARMS FROM ELECTION-RELATED PLACES,SCHOOL BOARD AND MUNICIPAL MEETINGSHouse Bill 1630prohibits any firearm at school board meetings, including CPL holders,and bans the open carry of firearms atmunicipal meetings. This bill would alsoprohibitopen-carry at election-related places, andprohibitCPL holders from ballot-counting centers.

EXPANDRED FLAG LAWS-House Bill 1901would allow petitioners for civil protection orders to assert that another has coercive control over them, leading to an unconstitutional revocation of firearm rightswithout due process of law. As amended, this bill creates situations where otherwise lawful activities, such as carrying a firearm, can be cause for bad actors to falsely assert malicious intent and call for ones Second Amendment rights to be revoked. Further, this measure permits the releaseof private and protected personal information contained inconcealed pistol license applications, to authorized persons and wouldcreate anenvironmentthat is ripe for abuse.
