What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
