(b) The presence of a firearm or ammunition on an employer's property under the authority of this subchapter does not by itself constitute a failure by the employer to provide a safe workplace. (c) For purposes of this section, a public or private employer, or the employer's principal, officer, director, employee, or agent, does not have a duty: (1) to patrol, inspect, or secure: (A) any parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area the employer provides for employees; or (B) any privately owned motor vehicle located in a parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area described by Paragraph (A); or (2) to investigate, confirm, or determine an employee's compliance with laws related to the ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition or the transportation and storage of a firearm or ammunition.
