Visitor carrying of firearms on campuses of public postsecondary institutions regulation

This bill allows public colleges and universities in Minnesota to create rules limiting how visitors can carry firearms on campus property. Under the new provisions, institutions can require visitors to leave if they violate firearm policies, and those who refuse to comply could face a petty misdemeanor charge with a fine of up to $500 for a first offense. The legislation also clarifies that firearms carried in violation of these rules cannot be subject to forfeiture. Additionally, the bill maintains that employers and schools cannot ban firearms in parking areas, even if they have other campus-wide restrictions.
