# HB1173 Summary HB1173 allows certain employees to carry firearms while working, even in locations or for employers that previously prohibited weapons on the job. The bill specifically protects employees who are licensed to carry firearms from being fired or disciplined solely for possessing a firearm in their vehicle on company property, provided the firearm remains secured in the vehicle and the employee has a valid permit.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
