Establishing the safe and secure firearm detection program in the office of the attorney general, providing for certain entities to use firearm detection software, establishing the safe and secure firearm detection fund and transferring funds from the state general fund to support the program.
HB 2381 establishes a state program under the Attorney General to deploy firearm detection software in public buildings and accredited nonpublic schools. It requires the software to detect visible, unholstered firearms, integrate with existing security cameras, meet federal anti-terrorism certification, and be developed in the U.S. Public entities (like schools, hospitals, and government buildings) can apply to use the software. The bill creates a dedicated fund receiving $20 million from the state general fund starting July 2025 to cover program costs, with annual reports to legislative committees on implementation.
