An Act requiring school districts to grant qualified persons an assigned duty to carry a concealed handgun on school grounds under certain conditions; relating to standards, training, and continuing education in firearms training for qualified persons granted an assigned duty to carry a concealed handgun on school grounds; relating to communication of school districts with state and local law enforcement; and relating to school crisis response plans.

SB 3 requires Alaska school districts to grant qualified staff or volunteers an assigned duty to carry concealed handguns on school grounds under specific conditions. To qualify, individuals must hold a concealed carry permit, complete approved firearms training (equivalent to police standards), meet physical/mental requirements matching police officer standards, and commit to continuing education. School districts must pay for training costs for employees and offer reimbursement for volunteers, and develop written policies covering these requirements and crisis response planning. The bill directly affects school districts (as implementers), qualified school personnel, and law enforcement communication protocols, without altering existing concealed carry laws for the general public.
