AI Summary
This bill, the Police Officers Protecting Children Act, aims to allow certain qualified law enforcement officers and retired law enforcement officers to carry a concealed firearm and discharge a firearm in a school zone. Specifically, the bill amends Section 922(q) of Title 18 of the United States Code to create exceptions for qualified law enforcement officers and qualified retired law enforcement officers who are authorized under Sections 926B and 926C, respectively, to carry a concealed firearm. This would allow these individuals to carry and use firearms in school zones, which is generally prohibited under the law.
