I am not a lawyer, but the way I interpret the amendment is that you would be able to park outside the secured area and keep it in your car. Those without a CHL would not be protected by the law.

Unless his company doesn't prohibit keeping his gun in the car, right? Or is the chemical plant thing law?

Chemical plant exemption in the bill.

I would be interested to learn who specifically makes the request to do the substitution.

Both bills are available to go to the floor and should be. However, I believe if Calendars passes SB 321 to the floor with no further changes, and it is voted on and passed by the House with no amendments, then HB 681 will not be required to go out and can die in committee.

Not in regards to the way the bill is written. The bill will only apply for schools per the sections of the Texas Education Code listed.

For that matter, does "school district" mean all employees throughout the district? Seems vague enough to be disastrous for college teachers, et al.

Per the bill, private school is defined in the Texas Education Code § 22.081.

§ 22.081. DEFINITION. In this subchapter, "private
school" means a school that:
(1) offers a course of instruction for students in one
or more grades from prekindergarten through grade 12; and
(2) is not operated by a governmental entity.

Added by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 260, § 1, eff. May 30, 1995.

Since the Senate Bill has been voted out of committee and could be voted on the Senate floor, does this force the House to deal with their bill? Help me to understand the process...

You just need to continue the contact campaign with the House Business and Industry Committee members urging them to vote this bill favorably out of committee ASAP.

Additionally, as the bills move forward, I would look for more requests from TSRA and from Charles to contact additional folks, but until that happens, I would concentrate on the House Committee now.
