Relating to the carrying of certain weapons on the premises of a public library; creating a criminal offense.

SB 2293 prohibits carrying certain visible weapons on public library premises in Texas. It specifically bans visible location-restricted knives, clubs, or prohibited weapons listed in the Penal Code, as well as any visible handgun - even if holstered or carried under a permit. The law creates a criminal offense for violating these restrictions, directly affecting library patrons and visitors who carry such weapons. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025, and amends the Penal Code to override existing exceptions for permit holders.
