Question on SB 17

[texasgirl]

Ok I'm sure this may have been posted somewhere but I haven't found it and the news articles I've found have not addressed it. As passed from the Senate will the 30.06 be used to prevent open carry or will there be separate signage for that?

SB17 creates 30.07 for Open Carry prohibition.
