Laid on Table, companion bill(s) passed, see CS/CS/HB 757 (Ch. 2026-80)
Summary
The measure would require county sheriffs to help public post‑secondary institutions set up and train for school guardian programs, create a new crime for firing a weapon within 1,000 feet of a school, and impose a series of security and reporting duties on those institutions. It also directs colleges to promote a state mobile suspicious‑activity reporting tool, adopt emergency‑response plans, conduct risk assessments and could apply for security‑grant funding. The bill failed, but a companion bill (HB 757) passed.
