CS/HB 1437 –  Safety of Religious Institutions

General Bill by Criminal Justice Subcommittee and Williamson (CO-SPONSORS) Andrade; Byrd; Donalds; Roach; Sabatini; Stone; Yarborough
Safety of Religious Institutions: Authorizes church, synagogue, or other religious institution to allow concealed weapons or concealed firearms licensee to carry firearm on its property for certain purposes; specifies property owner who allows church, synagogue, or other religious institution to use his or her property may prohibit church, synagogue, or other religious institution from authorizing person to carry firearm on property.

Read the New Text of the Bill.

The new version adds Property Owner’s rights to the bill and it is something to be respected IMHO.

It left the Criminal Justice Subcommittee with a strong vote (Total Yeas: 12, Total Nays: 2,  Total Missed: 1) that I think includes at least one Democrat.

It is now in the Education Committee and the Judiciary Committee.

You know the drill, send emails and make calls.
