Summary

The bill adds an exception to Iowa’s school‑firearm ban, letting anyone with a valid weapons‑carry permit bring a gun onto school property if it is for a lawful purpose and remains on their person. It changes the current rule that any armed person on school grounds commits a Class D felony. The change could affect permit holders, school staff, students and visitors who legally carry weapons.
