Plain-language change summary

The bill HB 194 has made a slight change in wording by removing a space in the phrase "carry a concealed weapon at anytime while consuming alcohol" from "any time" to "anytime." While this seems minor, it clarifies the phrasing used in the context of the legislation. Ensuring consistent language can help reduce confusion and make the law clearer for those affected by it, especially regarding regulations around concealed carry and alcohol consumption. However, the underlying rule regarding carrying weapons while drinking remains unchanged.
