This bill mandates that school districts serving preschool through grade five implement the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program, which is designed to enhance the safety and protection of children by educating them on how to respond if they encounter a firearm. The program, created by the National Rifle Association in 1988, focuses on teaching students four key rules: Stop, Don't Touch, Leave the Area, and Tell an Adult. Importantly, the program does not involve the use or demonstration of real firearms during instruction, and school personnel are prohibited from making value judgments about firearms.

The legislation emphasizes the importance of providing gun safety education without introducing firearms into the learning environment. By requiring the implementation of the Eddie Eagle Gunsafe Program, the bill aims to ensure that young students receive essential training on firearm safety in a manner that is both effective and appropriate for their age group. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
