H.F. 2143 Section 1. Section 8A.322, subsection 3, Code 2018, is 1 amended to read as follows: 2 3. The director shall establish, publish, and enforce 3 rules regulating and restricting the use by the public of the 4 capitol buildings and grounds and of the state laboratories 5 facility in Ankeny. The rules when established shall be 6 posted in conspicuous places about the capitol buildings and 7 grounds and the state laboratories facility, as applicable. 8 Any person violating any rule, except a parking regulation, 9 shall be guilty of a simple misdemeanor. The rules shall 10 prohibit a person, other than a peace officer, from openly 11 carrying a pistol or revolver in the capitol building and on 12 the grounds surrounding the capitol building including state 13 parking lots and parking garages. However, this subsection 14 shall not be construed to allow the director to prohibit the 15 lawful carrying, transportation, or possession of any pistol or 16 revolver in the capitol building and on the grounds surrounding 17 the capitol building including state parking lots and parking 18 garages by a person who displays to capitol security personnel 19 a valid permit to carry weapons upon request. 20 EXPLANATION 21 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with 22 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly. 23 This bill relates to the carrying, transportation, or 24 possession of a pistol or revolver in the capitol building and 25 on the grounds of the capitol including state parking lots and 26 parking garages. 27 The bill strikes a provision allowing a person to conceal 28 carry, transport, or possess a pistol or revolver in the 29 capitol building and on the grounds surrounding the capitol 30 building including state parking lots and parking garages if 31 the person possesses a valid permit to carry weapons. 32 -1- LSB 5550YH (3) 87 jm/rh 1/ 1
