The bill amends existing law to allow for the lawful possession of firearms in certain Federal units and facilities under specified conditions.

  • 18 U.S.C. § 930(d)

    "For purposes of paragraph (3), the possession of a firearm in any exempted area is possession with a lawful purpose if the individual in possession of the firearm is not otherwise prohibited by law from such possession and such possession is in compliance with the law of the State in which the exempted area is located."

    This change allows possession of firearms in certain exempted areas if the individual is legally allowed to possess a firearm under state law.

  • 18 U.S.C. § 930(g)

    "(4) The term 'exempted area' means any unit or Federal facility that-- (A) is owned or leased by the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Reclamation, the National Forest System, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Park System, the National Wildlife Refuge System, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers; and (B) is an area open to visitors and invitees to the unit or Federal facility."

    This definition establishes what constitutes an 'exempted area,' clarifying where firearms can be legally possessed within Federal facilities.
