HB 1383 -- Business Premises Safety Act

Sponsor:  Cox

This bill establishes the Business Premises Safety Act which
prohibits business owners and operators from restricting any
person from lawfully possessing a firearm in a motor vehicle.
Business owners, operators, merchants, and shopkeepers do not
have a duty to guard against the criminal act of a third party
unless they know or have reason to know that the acts are
occurring or are about to occur that could pose imminent injury
to a person or that the same criminal acts have occurred on the
premises within the prior 24 months and is likely to occur again.
In either case, it will be their duty to use reasonable care to
protect against the acts.
