The bill prohibits a person from openly carrying a firearm within
any polling location or central count facility, or within 100 feet of a ballot drop box or any building in which a polling location or central count facility is located, while an election or any related ongoing election administration activity is in progress. Exceptions are made for persons who own private property within the 100-foot buffer zone to carry a
firearm on the private property and for peace officers acting within the scope and authority of their duties to carry a firearm.
Openly carrying a firearm inside or within 100 feet of a polling
location, central count facility, or drop box is a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum $1,000 fine, up to 364 days imprisonment in the county jail, or both.
