Summary

The bill mandates that every public school, including charter and virtual charter schools, provide age‑appropriate firearm‑safety instruction each year beginning with the earliest grade the State Department of Education deems suitable. The curriculum must be developed with the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training, stay neutral on political gun issues, and prohibit any use of live ammunition or branded materials. The goal is to give students basic knowledge on safe storage, how to react to a found gun, and how to report it, aiming to reduce accidental injuries.
