What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, with exceptions, a person is prohibited from possessing a

firearm on the grounds of a school. A person who violates the prohibition is guilty

of a Class I felony. Under this bill, a person who has a license to carry a concealed

weapon may possess a firearm in a place of worship located on the grounds of a

private school if the governing body of the place of worship has a written policy that

allows licensees to possess a firearm and the licensee is complying with all terms of

the policy.
