This bill would prohibit individuals from possessing firearms in buildings owned or controlled by state or local governments in Minnesota, with exceptions for licensed peace officers, military personnel on duty, and those with written permission from building supervisors. The law would classify firearm possession in these government-administered buildings as a felony punishable by up to five years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000, or both. The prohibition would take effect on August 1, 2026, and applies to crimes committed on or after that date, while excluding locations already covered by other firearm restrictions in the state.
