Bill > HB469

This bill, known as the True Campus Safety Act, seeks to repeal existing provisions in Georgia law that currently allow certain personnel to carry weapons within school safety zones and at school functions. Specifically, the bill targets two key sections of the Georgia Code: paragraph (6) of subsection (c) of Code Section 16-11-127.1 and Code Section 16-11-130.1, which currently provide exceptions that permit some school personnel to possess firearms in school-related settings. By repealing these sections, the bill effectively eliminates the legal pathways that previously allowed designated school staff to carry weapons on school grounds or during school-related events. The legislation appears aimed at restricting firearm access in educational environments, potentially as a measure to enhance student and staff safety. The bill follows standard legislative procedure by including a short title, specifying the exact code sections to be repealed, and including a standard clause that repeals any laws in conflict with its provisions.
