Bill > S1135

This bill amends existing law to revise provisions regarding possession of a firearm or other deadly weapon on school grounds. The key changes are: 1. It allows school districts, with certain requirements, to authorize certain paid employees with enhanced concealed carry permits to possess firearms or other deadly weapons on school property. This includes requiring ongoing training, notifying parents, and consulting with local law enforcement. 2. It exempts the school district's safety plan, including the identification of authorized individuals, from public records disclosure. 3. It provides that school districts allowing firearms/weapons on campus will not be subject to a heightened duty of care or liability related to their possession or use. 4. It also adds a provision requiring school safety plans to include information about persons authorized to possess weapons on school property. Overall, the bill aims to give school districts the ability to allow certain trained and authorized employees to carry firearms or other weapons on school grounds, while providing protections for the school districts around liability and public disclosure requirements.
