A bill for an act relating to firearm safety instruction in school districts.

This bill requires Iowa school districts to implement firearm safety instruction for students. By July 1, 2026, the state must develop and distribute age-appropriate model programs: kindergarten through grade six must use the NRA's Eddie Eagle program, while grades seven through twelve must use the NRA's hunter education course. School districts must offer approved courses to all students in grades seven through twelve (including nonpublic school students in the district) starting the 2026-2027 school year, with flexibility for off-campus locations, non-traditional schedules, and non-licensed instructors. The bill specifies that school districts will fund implementation using existing state foundation aid, with no new state funding required.
