HB 2115 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorizing municipalities to prohibit their employees from carrying concealed handguns in municipal buildings.

HB 2115 allows Kansas municipalities to prohibit employees from carrying concealed handguns in municipal buildings, but only if the building has adequate security measures (like metal detectors) at all public entrances and clear signage warning of the ban. This directly affects municipal employees who would be barred from carrying concealed weapons in their workplace under these conditions. The bill amends existing law to clarify that such prohibitions require both physical security and conspicuous signage, rather than being automatic. Municipalities must choose to implement this policy and meet these specific requirements to enforce the ban. The law does not require municipalities to adopt this policy but provides the framework for those that choose to do so.
