Allows certain school employees to carry concealed guns at work.
This bill adds a new category of school district employees who can carry concealed pistols on school property. It allows employees 21 or older with enhanced concealed carry permits to possess or store concealed pistols in schools if they notify local law enforcement. Most significantly, it creates a new section explicitly stating that school districts are not liable for any damages or penalties resulting from firearm use by individuals described in the specified exemptions (including both those with principal permission and the new employee category).
Removes special permit requirement for concealed carry on college campuses.
This bill removes the requirement for enhanced permits to carry concealed pistols on public higher education campuses. Currently, only individuals with enhanced permits, restricted enhanced permits, or reciprocal permits can carry concealed pistols on campus. The bill would allow any individual to lawfully carry concealed pistols on technical education and university campuses without requiring these enhanced permits.
