Bill Summary
For legislation to authorize licensed, qualified retired law enforcement officers to carry firearms on the grounds of any elementary school, secondary school, college or university. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 10 of Chapter 269 of the General Laws, which deals with firearms. Specifically, it seeks to insert language that would allow a "retired law enforcement officer who meets the requirements of 501 CMR 13.02" to carry firearms on school grounds, in addition to current law enforcement officers. The regulation 501 CMR 13.02, though not fully detailed here, would likely outline the specific qualifications and conditions these retired officers must meet to be authorized to carry firearms in elementary schools, secondary schools, colleges, and universities, thereby promoting school safety by potentially increasing the number of armed individuals authorized to respond to threats.
