In addition, no contractual requirement or condition of employment regarding faculty, employees, or students shall generally prohibit the carrying, chambering, active operation, or storage of concealed firearms as such institutions. Higher education institutions shall not charge a tax, fee, or other monetary charge as a condition to lawfully possess and carry a firearm.
