The proposed bill would amend section 15-341 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding new provisions regarding the policies and procedures that school district governing boards must enforce concerning weapons on school grounds. Currently, the law allows for the prohibition of weapons on school grounds, with exceptions for peace officers or those with specific authorization from school administrators.

The new language would specifically require that school district employees, including those employed by third-party contractors, are prohibited from contacting law enforcement solely to report a student carrying or possessing oleoresin capsicum spray or mace on school grounds. However, it clarifies that this does not limit the authority of school districts to contact law enforcement regarding incidents involving the use of such substances.
