I do have a CHL and am curious how this would all apply to me.

Do they post 30.06 signs or is it illegal for some other reason? Do they search vehicles in visitor lots?

I'm assuming that only includes lots and areas outside of the main gates.

I wonder if plants can use MARSEC and terror threat levels to negate the new law?

IMHO, if your not an employee of the facility owner, you are not protected by SB 321, it doesn't cover contractors or visitors, only direct employees.

Correct. We considered trying to add that in conference committee, but the overall opinion was that was so far "out of bounds" it might kill the bill. (Come on 2013.)

They show it on the "History" tab:
House Conferees: Appointed (05/19/2011) Kleinschmidt (Chair) | Fletcher | Geren | Guillen | Hardcastle

Kleinschmit was the Author, and the others were joint-authors, so this is a good committee too!
