MI HB4175

Eliminates all pistol-free zones previously prohibited under Michigan law, including schools, child care centers, sports arenas, bars, places of worship, entertainment facilities with 2,500+ seating capacity, hospitals, and college dormitories.

Removes restrictions on carrying concealed pistols in these locations for licensed individuals and those exempt from licensure, with exceptions for security personnel, law enforcement, retired officers, judges, and court officers who retain carry privileges.

Reduces penalties for violations from criminal charges to civil infractions for first offense (up to $500 fine with 6-month license suspension), misdemeanor for second offense (up to $1,000 fine with license revocation), and felony for third or subsequent violations (up to 4 years imprisonment or $5,000 fine).

Requires private property owners who prohibit concealed carry on non-exempted premises to install metal detectors at all public entrances and employ on-site security personnel when open to the public.

Maintains restriction on carrying concealed pistols in violation of Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act regulations at gaming facilities.
