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 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.
