summary
This amendment replaces the bill and is the majority report of the committee. The amendment provides that a person to whom a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm has been issued may carry a concealed firearm in the State House, the Burton M. Cross Building and the parking areas adjacent to the 2 buildings and on the walkways between the buildings and between the parking areas and the buildings. Upon entering the State House or the Burton M. Cross Building, a person who is carrying a concealed firearm is required to immediately report to the Capitol Police and sign the person's name in a logbook maintained by the Capitol Police. This is the same procedure that the Capitol Police currently follow for law enforcement officers who carry their firearms in the State House.
