| IN RE: | HB2164 by Burns (Relating to imposing civil and criminal penalties for prohibiting or otherwise restricting a peace officer or special investigator from carrying a weapon on certain premises open to the public; creating a criminal offense.), As Introduced |
The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure to create a criminal offense for prohibiting or restricting a peace officer or special investigator from carrying a weapon on certain premises open to the public. Under the provisions of the bill, this offense would be punishable as a Class C misdemeanor.
A Class C misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not to exceed $500. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.
