What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law generally prohibits a person from possessing a firearm on the

grounds of a school or within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school. Current law

exempts from this prohibition a law enforcement officer acting in his or her official

capacity. This bill also exempts from this prohibition qualified law enforcement

officers, without regard to whether they are on duty, and qualified former law

enforcement officers to restore the law as it existed prior to

2011 Wisconsin Act 35

,

commonly known as the Concealed Carry Act.
