AI Summary
This bill amends existing Wisconsin statutes to allow licensees (individuals with a concealed carry license) to possess firearms in places of worship located on the grounds of private schools, as long as the governing body of the place of worship has a written policy allowing it. The bill also clarifies the definition of "school" to include public, private, and tribal schools providing education for grades 1-12. Additionally, the bill exempts licensees from the prohibition on possessing firearms within 1,000 feet of school grounds.
