H.B. No. 310 Summary

• Amends Ohio Revised Code section 2923.126 to allow elected officeholders of the state or political subdivisions who hold valid concealed handgun licenses to carry concealed handguns in government facilities.

• Creates an exception to the existing prohibition on carrying concealed handguns in government buildings, allowing elected officials with valid licenses to bypass this restriction.

• Defines "government facility" as buildings owned or leased by state or local government where employees regularly perform official duties, and deputy registrar offices.

• Maintains all other existing restrictions on concealed carry in other locations such as courthouses, schools, airports, colleges, and private employers' premises.

• Repeals the existing section 2923.126 and replaces it with the amended version containing the new exception for elected officeholders.
