The bill SB1331 amends existing Arizona law to allow a student's parent or legal guardian to possess a firearm on school property, provided they hold a valid concealed weapons permit. This change exempts these individuals from the classification of "misconduct involving weapons," which currently prohibits the possession of deadly weapons on school grounds. The bill also prohibits educational institutions from adopting policies that restrict or prohibit these parents or guardians from carrying or transporting firearms on school property.

In summary, the key differences between current law and the proposed bill include the explicit allowance for parents or guardians with concealed weapons permits to carry firearms on school grounds and the prohibition against educational institutions from implementing rules that would limit this right. The bill aims to clarify and expand the rights of parents regarding firearm possession in educational settings.
