What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the state superintendent of public instruction to jointly develop a curriculum for a comprehensive firearm education course to be offered as an elective to high school pupils. The bill requires the state superintendent to jointly develop the curriculum with the Department of Natural Resources, a law enforcement agency, or an organization that specializes in firearms safety or that certifies firearms instructors.
The curriculum must be prepared before the first school year that begins after the bill is passed. Under current law, a school year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. The bill does not require a school district to offer the course, but if a school district does offer such a course, the course must be taught or supervised by an individual who demonstrates proof of training in firearms safety. The bill prohibits the presence or use of live ammunition in such a course.
