Book Description
Synopsis: A state-owned or leased medical care facility must either allow concealed carry inside the facility or install adequate security measures and post signage to prohibit concealed carry, unless the facility has temporarily exempted itself from the provisions of K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 75-7c20. After any such exemption expires, a state-owned or leased medical care facility must comply with the provisions of K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 75-7c20. If concealed carry is allowed inside a state-owned or leased medical care facility, the facility may regulate the manner of carrying concealed handguns inside the facility. Medical personnel of a state-owned or leased medical care facility may require patients to temporarily store concealed handguns during medical treatment. A municipal-owned or leased medical care facility must either allow concealed carry inside the facility or install adequate security measures and post signage to prohibit concealed carry, unless the facility has temporarily exempted itself from the provisions of K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 75- 7c20. After any such exemption expires, a municipal-owned or leased medical care facility must comply with the provisions of K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 75-7c20. The governing body of a municipality may not adopt an ordinance, resolution or other regulation to govern the carrying of concealed handguns inside a municipal-owned or leased medical care facility. However, a physician, nurse, or other medical personnel of a municipal-owned or leased medical care facility may refuse to allow a patient to carry a concealed handgun while medical services are being provided, as long as such action is not implementing a local law, official policy, or decision by the governing body of the municipality. K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 75-7c20 does not apply to a state or municipal-owned medical care facility that is leased in its entirety by a private entity, whether for-profit or not-for-profit. The Personal and Family Protection Act does not require a state or municipal building to provide storage facilities for concealed handguns carried into the building by members of the public.
