What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill exempts any college or university in the University of Wisconsin

System and any technical college from the law that allows a university or college to

prohibit a person from carrying a firearm in any building on its grounds if the person

holds a license to carry a concealed weapon. This bill also repeals the provision in

the administrative code in which the University of Wisconsin System generally

prohibits persons from carrying, possessing, or using any dangerous weapon on

university lands or in university buildings or facilities.
