Summary

The bill changes South Carolina’s firearm‑on‑campus rules to exempt guards, law‑enforcement officers, authorized members of the U.S. armed forces acting in official duties, military‑science students, and married students living in school‑provided apartments when security officials approve. These groups would no longer be barred from possessing a firearm on school grounds under the existing prohibition. The amendment is meant to clarify who may legally carry a weapon for official or security purposes.
