What’s in it
This bill provides that an employer shall not prohibit an employee, which includes a contract employee or volunteer, from carrying, transporting, or possessing a firearm or ammunition on the real property comprising the employee’s place of employment if the firearm and ammunition are out of sight and inside the locked motor vehicle of the employee, provided the vehicle is parked in a location designated or allowed for employee parking, and if the carrying, transportation, or possession of the firearm or ammunition is otherwise lawful under Iowa law.
Read the full explanation
The bill further provides that an employer, owner, or lawful possessor of the property on which the employer is located is immune from any claim brought by any person seeking damages that are alleged to have been a result of any firearm or ammunition brought onto the property of the employer, owner, or lawful possessor by an employee pursuant to the bill.
