A bill to amend 1931 PA 328, entitled “The Michigan penal code,” by amending section 234d (MCL 750.234d), as amended by 1994 PA 158.
The primary objective of this bill is to expand the list of gun-free zones. The new additions to the list include the Michigan State Capitol Building, the Anderson House Office Building, and the Binsfeld Senate Office Building. The legislation introduces specific exemptions to these prohibitions. Notably, it allows individuals who are licensed to carry a concealed pistol and are serving as members of the Michigan House of Representatives or the Michigan Senate to carry concealed pistols within the newly added premises. Additionally, the bill retains exemptions for individuals providing security services, peace officers, and those who have obtained permission from the entity's owner or agent.
