2015 House Bill 5199

Revise ban on carrying knives with harmful intent

Introduced in the House

Dec. 17, 2015

Introduced by Rep. Lee Chatfield (R-107)

To replace a ban on carrying specific types of blades with harmful intent with a ban on doing this with any “bladed object designed, manufactured, or intended to be used to cause death or injury to any person.” The bill (and current law) does not ban owning these items, and creates exceptions and rules for transporting them where there is no unlawful intent to hurt someone.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
