I don't know how many municipalities will take down 30.06, only to later post 30.07 signage knowing that it will be coming down in 2017. I guess there might be a few, but that seems pretty stupid. The best thing we can do is to notify them before Jan 1, so they will have to comply.

Seems like the underlined section below would cover any potential 30.07 issues. Though who knows with municipalities that are already refusing to comply with the current laws.

Sec. 411.209. WRONGFUL EXCLUSION OF CONCEALED HANDGUN
LICENSE HOLDER. (a) A state agency or a political subdivision of
the state may not provide notice by a communication described by
Section 30.06, Penal Code, or by any sign expressly referring to
that law or to a concealed handgun license

The 30.07 language:

"Pursuant to Section 30.07,
Penal Code (trespass by license holder with an openly carried
handgun), a person licensed under Subchapter H, Chapter 411,
Government Code (handgun licensing law), may not enter this
property with a handgun that is carried openly"

Sounds logical.

Broad enough language to cover the future existence of a 30.07 (which does not exist at the time this bill is passed, and would not exist when this bill goes into effect) such that if 30.07 were included, it would be prohibiting a non-existent thing, but language which is broad enough to cover 30.07, (or 30.08 or 30.09 etc etc) anyway should it exist later, as long as they have a CHL.

The only problem I see with this is that after final approval of HB910, it will no longer be a "chl" but a "handgun license." However, the language quoted above and the language underlined below may be broad enough to include it. The language below does not say a "concealed handgun" but rather a "handgun."

Sec. 411.209. WRONGFUL EXCLUSION OF CONCEALED HANDGUN
LICENSE HOLDER. (a) state agency or a political subdivision of
the state may not provide notice by a communication described by
Section 30.06, Penal Code, or by any sign expressly referring to
that law or to a concealed handgun license, that a license holder
carrying a handgun under the authority of this subchapter is
prohibited from entering or remaining on a premises or other place
owned or leased by the governmental entity...

So no go on 30.07 :(

Passed to 3rd reading. Wonder what that means for it being amended for 30.07. Think they might do it in 3rd reading?

I believe passage of this one is waiting to see if it needs to be amended for 30.07. I believe it can be brought to the House floor at any time.

I wonder, though, what this means for the question of whether they were waiting to see if it needed to be amended for 30.07.

Referred to Homeland Security and Public Safety!

Not companion to HB308, this is related to government buildings erroneously posting 30.06.
