I think that's the point of the bill. It won't let employers post a parking lot.

We'll see, time will tell. Chas can chime in w/ the real answer; it would be interesting to hear.

I support the idea of this bill but... I suspect I will see no benefit from it at all given reports of my employers outspoken opposition to the 2007 version. Sorry, I'm just pessimistic about it. Just call me broken and bitter.

Chas.

Thanks. I applaud your hard work in getting it on the table. Section 30.05 "refineries, etc." issue w/ no exception for CHL as the basis for this wording I'm assuming.

Point being that the cars in the "special" lot would be a hot target - general thugs would just see them as less protected, but disgruntled former employees KNOW why people parked in that lot and they or their less-upstanding acquaintances know what they can score by hitting those "targets". Just the fact that people see you or your vehicle in "that" lot is telling in and of itself.

If this is the proverbial camel nose in the tent, so be it...

Again, thanks. I keep my fingers crossed. See ya in Phoenix perhaps.

Good news. Much better than the last session attempt wound up being. I am a bit dismayed to see the "out" in the section beginning with: "access to the parking area is restricted or limited through the use of a fence, gate, security station...". Charles, is this one of the mandatory deals to keep it from being DOA?
