        <text><![CDATA[ <p>Gun-Free Hospital Zones Act - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit the possession of a firearm in a hospital zone. Makes exceptions with respect to possession: (1) on private property that is not on hospital grounds; (2) on public property outside any enclosed structure by an individual who has a license provided by the State or local government which requires law enforcement authority verification of the individual's eligibility; (3) in accordance with a contract with the hospital; or (4) by a law enforcement authority acting in official capacity. </p>]]></text>
