What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the state superintendent of public instruction to develop a

curriculum for a comprehensive firearm education course for high school pupils. The

bill requires the state superintendent to jointly develop the curriculum with the

Department of Natural Resources, a law enforcement agency, and an organization

that specializes in firearm safety or that certifies firearm instructors.

The bill allows a school board or operator of an independent charter school to

offer high school pupils a comprehensive firearm education course consistent with

the curriculum the state superintendent develops or a hunter safety course modeled

on DNR's hunter education program. Under the bill, if the school board or operator

offers such a course, the course must be taught or supervised by an individual who

demonstrates proof of training in firearm safety.

The bill specifies that a school board that elects not to offer a firearm education

or hunter safety course must adopt a resolution making that election.
