Bill > HB2104

This bill aims to standardize firearm safety education programs in Kansas school districts, with the goal of promoting student safety and teaching appropriate responses when encountering firearms. The state board of education will establish curriculum guidelines that vary by grade level: for kindergarten through fifth grade, schools can use the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program from the National Rifle Association; for sixth through eighth grades, schools can use either the Eddie Eagle program or the Hunter Education in Our Schools Program from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks; and for high school students (grades nine through 12), schools can use the Hunter Education in Our Schools Program. When a school district chooses to offer firearm safety education, it must follow these state-established guidelines and ensure all students have the opportunity to take the course. The bill emphasizes that these programs are designed to teach accident prevention and appropriate safety responses, rather than promoting gun use, and will take effect once published in the state statute book.
