Bill > SB1210

This bill amends the Illinois School Code to allow school districts to offer an optional firearm safety training course for high school students in grades 9 through 12. The course may include instruction on hunting safety, but participation would not be mandatory for students. If a school board decides to implement such a course, they must develop a detailed policy outlining its implementation and make that policy publicly available by publishing it on the district's website. The bill gives school districts discretion in whether to offer the course, reflecting a voluntary approach to providing students with firearm safety education. By creating a framework for such courses without mandating them, the legislation aims to provide local school districts with flexibility in addressing firearm safety education while ensuring transparency in course development and implementation.
