Removes places of worship from the places off limits to LTC holders under 46.035. This cleans up language that made 46.035 not apply if LTC holders were not given effective notice under 30.06 or 30.07.

In other words, this law maintains the status quo for LTC holders in places of worship and reduces the chances that you will take a ride because of a misinformed officer.

Many people miss 46.035 (i) which states that the off limits locations in 46.035 (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06 or 30.07.

This bill also reduces the penalty for a violation of 46.035 (b)(4), (b)(5) and (c) to be in line with 30.06/7 violations.

If that's the reasoning, then why not remove all of the places listed in the "I" exceptions?

HB 1231 / SB 535 - Places of Worship No Longer Off Limits by Statute

OL, I am confused. The wife says that happens often.

This bill removes the words "church, synagogue, etc. both from 46.035 B,G, and I.

Is the intent to remove the ability of churches to post? The news is reporting that the intent is to allow carry in church. It is, but they are telling it as though it is illegal now. We know it is illegal to carry if the church is posted.
