  1  1    Section 1.  Section 8A.322, subsection 3, Code 2018, is
  1  2 amended to read as follows:
  1  3    3.  The director shall establish, publish, and enforce
  1  4 rules regulating and restricting the use by the public of the
  1  5 capitol buildings and grounds and of the state laboratories
  1  6 facility in Ankeny. The rules when established shall be
  1  7 posted in conspicuous places about the capitol buildings and
  1  8 grounds and the state laboratories facility, as applicable.
  1  9 Any person violating any rule, except a parking regulation,
  1 10 shall be guilty of a simple misdemeanor. The rules shall
  1 11 prohibit a person, other than a peace officer, from openly
  1 12 carrying a pistol or revolver in the capitol building and on
  1 13 the grounds surrounding the capitol building including state
  1 14 parking lots and parking garages. However, this subsection
  1 15  shall not be construed to allow the director to prohibit the
  1 16 lawful carrying, transportation, or possession of any pistol or
  1 17 revolver in the capitol building and on the grounds surrounding
  1 18 the capitol building including state parking lots and parking
  1 19 garages by a person who displays to capitol security personnel
  1 20 a valid permit to carry weapons upon request.
  1 21                           EXPLANATION
  1 22 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
  1 23 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly.

  1 25 possession of a pistol or revolver in the capitol building and
  1 26 on the grounds of the capitol including state parking lots and
  1 27 parking garages.
  1 28    The bill strikes a provision allowing a person to conceal
  1 29 carry, transport, or possess a pistol or revolver in the
  1 30 capitol building and on the grounds surrounding the capitol
  1 31 building including state parking lots and parking garages if
  1 32 the person possesses a valid permit to carry weapons.
