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.
