Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.

This bill does not authorize the department of safety to suspend or revoke a handgun permit if a permit holder failed to provide notice of an address change within 60 days of the change or if a person possesses a firearm in a building or on property posted prohibiting or restricting the possession of weapons. Present law provides that if a permit holder failed to provide notice of an address change within 60 days of the change; a chief law enforcement fails to retain applications and files related to the approval or denial of an application submitted between October 1, 1994 to October 1, 1996; or a person possesses a firearm in a building or on property posted prohibiting or restricting the possession of weapons, then the person committed a Class B misdemeanor, punishable only by a maximum fine of $500. This bill removes this penalty provision. Present law authorizes an individual, corporation, business entity, or local, state, or federal government entity or agent to prohibit or restrict the possession of weapons by any person on property owned or under the control of the individual, corporation, business entity, or local, state, or federal government entity. This prohibition applies to any person who has an enhanced or concealed carry permit. This bill provides, instead, that the above prohibition applies to any person who has a concealed carry permit or is authorized to carry a firearm without a permit. Present law provides that it is a Class B misdemeanor to possess a weapon in a building or on property that is properly posted in accordance with present law. Under present law, this Class B misdemeanor is punishable only by a fine of $500. This bill deletes this provision entirely.
