Bill > HR5066

This bill, known as the "Safe Students Act," seeks to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, which currently restricts the possession of firearms in and around school zones. Specifically, the bill removes Section 922(q) from Title 18 of the United States Code, which previously prohibited individuals from knowingly possessing a firearm in a school zone. The bill also makes several related amendments, including removing specific definitions and references to school zones from other sections of the U.S. Code and eliminating associated penalties. By completely repealing the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, the legislation would effectively remove federal restrictions on firearm possession near schools, potentially allowing individuals to carry firearms in and around school premises without federal legal consequences. This proposed change represents a significant shift in federal policy regarding guns in educational settings, potentially giving states and local jurisdictions more discretion in regulating firearms near schools.
