Today, Governor Sam Brownback announced that he intends to let House Bill 2278 become law without his signature. HB 2278 makes it unlawful for individuals to carry a firearm for self-defense into a state or municipal-owned medical care facility, including the Kansas University Hospital. In addition, HB 2278 prevents the lawful carry of a firearm into community health centers and state or municipal-owned adult care homes. This bill will take effect immediately.
