This bill seeks to repeal the existing Section 18-3309 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the authority of governing boards of public colleges and universities regarding firearms. In its place, a new Section 18-3309 is introduced, which explicitly prohibits these governing boards from regulating or prohibiting the lawful possession, carrying, or transporting of firearms or ammunition by individuals who are carrying concealed weapons in accordance with specified sections of the Idaho Code.

The bill declares an emergency, indicating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to ensure that individuals with concealed carry permits can exercise their rights without restrictions imposed by educational institutions in Idaho.
