What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under this bill, a person who has a license to carry a concealed weapon may possess a firearm in or on the grounds of a parochial, private, or tribal school and, if the school adopts a policy, in a building on the school grounds. If the school does not adopt a policy allowing licensees to possess a firearm in a building on its grounds, a licensee who knowingly possesses a firearm in such a building is guilty of a Class B forfeiture. In addition, under this bill, if a licensee illegally possesses a firearm in or on the grounds of a public school, he or she is guilty of a Class B forfeiture. Under current law, a person who illegally possesses a firearm on the grounds of any school is guilty of a Class I felony.
