Bill > HB55

This bill amends existing law to allow school districts and private schools to authorize certain permanent employees, such as teachers and administrators who are not on probation or temporary status, to possess firearms on school grounds for defensive purposes, provided the school adopts a written policy outlining how firearms will be handled and under what circumstances they can be used, and the authorized employee completes specific firearms training. Additionally, any employee authorized to carry a concealed handgun on their person must obtain a permit, and the Commissioner of Public Safety is tasked with establishing the necessary regulations for this firearms training.
