AN ACT PERMITTING JUDICIAL MARSHALS TO CARRY FIREARMS IN COURTHOUSES.

HB 5737 would require the Judicial Department to create training and certification for judicial marshals to carry firearms within courthouses. This bill directly affects judicial marshals who work in courthouses by permitting them to carry weapons during their duties. The key mechanism is mandating a new training program for marshals to become certified for firearm carrying. The bill does not change existing laws about firearms in courthouses but specifically authorizes judicial marshals to carry weapons after completing this required training.
