AN ACT ALLOWING OFF-DUTY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO CARRY FIREARMS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS.
HB 5207 would allow off-duty police officers to carry firearms on school property. Currently, state law typically prohibits officers from carrying guns on school grounds when not actively working. The bill amends Section 53a-217b of the general statutes to explicitly permit this activity. It directly affects off-duty officers and school safety policies by changing the existing restriction.
