Crap...another law passed not correlating to the title.
How does any publicly owned building fall under school property unless it is school owned public bldg.
When the school law passed I thought it had only to do with schools only, not publicly owned bldgs...
BTW - Questioning and commenting which laws are applicable are the purpose of these forums, that's why I ASKED!
Seems they keep on getting by, feels like they are trying to go back the CC laws from 20 years ago.
This is the school section that was in the I was told read..
