Security

Recently, some public buildings on Capitol Square have become subject to additional restrictions on who has access and when.

To enter the Capitol Building and the Pocahontas (General Assembly) Building, members of the public must pass through metal detectors. The screening line can be long at certain times. If you have an appointment, scheduled tour, or plan to attend a hearing, it may be best to arrive extra early to provide enough time getting through security.

Beginning January 2020, firearms are prohibited in the Capitol and Pocahontas Buildings. This ban includes individuals with concealed carry permits.  This prohibition does not apply to the grounds of Capitol Square, only the inside either building.
