Currently, school districts can designate teachers or administrators to be school protection officers.
This bill adds other school personnel to the list of employees a school district can designate as a school protection officer and allows designated school personnel the authority to carry a weapon on school grounds if the individual has obtained a concealed carry endorsement or permit.
This bill is similar to HB 805 (2025); HCS HB 1440 (2024); and HB 70 (2023).
