Summary

The bill repeals the current statute on weapon possession at schools and makes unauthorized possession a Class D felony. It carves out narrow exemptions for firearms used in school‑approved programs, agreements with schools, peace officers performing official duties, and unloaded guns used for lawful hunting access with board permission. The change aims to clarify when a gun may be legally carried on school grounds.
