Capitol Sq. or building owned/leased by the Commonwealth, carrying firearm/explosive material, etc.

The bill header was changed from 'ENROLLED' to 'OFFERED FOR CONSIDERATION' with a date of 1/31/2025, indicating the bill is in a substitute amendment stage rather than its final approved form.

Line numbering and formatting were added to the text to conform to substitute amendment markup standards, though the actual legal language remains the same.

The original Enrolled header text identifying the bill as a Virginia Act of Assembly Chapter was removed as it is no longer applicable to a substitute version.

Exemptions for public institutions of higher education were clarified - clause (f) now explicitly states institutions can prohibit firearms unless prohibited by their own adopted policy, and this policy cannot apply to ROTC programs, NCAA athletics, or club sports involving firearms.

Notice posting requirements were slightly modified to use 'each public entrance' instead of 'the public entrance' for clarity.

Formatting and layout changes between introduced and enrolled versions, including page numbering, spacing, and header information.

Subsection G was reorganized to clarify that security measures in higher education policies can include metal detectors and increased security personnel.
