SB 792 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Creates and modifies provisions relating to school safety

SB 792 creates a program allowing school districts to designate teachers or administrators as "school protection officers" who may carry concealed firearms or self-defense spray on school property. To qualify, employees must complete state-approved training, hold a concealed carry permit, and submit written requests to school leadership. School boards must hold public hearings to approve both the program and individual officer authorizations, including closed meetings for firearm permission. The bill requires schools to report officer details to state safety officials (kept non-public), sets strict limits on detaining individuals (max 1 hour), and mandates immediate notification of administrators or law enforcement during incidents. It directly affects school districts, staff seeking designation, and students through revised safety protocols.
