This amendment removes the requirement in Committee Amendment "A" that a firearm in a motor vehicle of a person dropping off or picking up a student on school property needs to be in a locked container or locked firearms rack. Instead, this amendment requires the firearm to be concealed either in the motor vehicle or on the person's person.
