H 273 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

FIREARMS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY – Amends existing law to authorize a school employee who possesses an enhanced license to carry concealed weapons to carry on school property in certain instances.

H 273 allows school employees in Idaho who hold an enhanced concealed carry license to carry handguns on school property under specific conditions. It permits this only for employees with board permission, requiring them to carry only handguns with hollow-point ammunition (not ball ammo) and maintain immediate control of the weapon. The bill does not require school employees to carry weapons, maintains their civil/criminal liability protections, and explicitly excludes students and unlicensed individuals from this exception. This amendment modifies existing school firearm prohibitions to create a limited exception for qualified school staff.
