Senate Bill 20 amends the Occupations Code and Penal Code to prohibit a hotel from adopting a policy that prohibits a hotel guest from carrying or storing a firearm or firearm ammunition in the guest's hotel room or vehicle or en route to or from those locations, unless the possession of such on hotel property is prohibited by state or federal law. The bill authorizes a hotel to adopt a policy requiring a firearm or ammunition to be carried in a certain manner in a hotel common area and specifies the circumstances under which carrying such on hotel property constitutes a defense to prosecution for criminal trespass offenses.
