Allows rifles, shotguns, and firearms on college and university campuses

This bill amends New York's penal law to remove criminal penalties for possessing rifles, shotguns, or firearms on college and university campuses. It explicitly states that the prohibition on weapon possession "shall not apply to college or university buildings or grounds," meaning students, faculty, and visitors could legally carry such firearms without authorization on campus. However, the bill maintains that schools cannot authorize teachers, administrators, or non-security staff to carry weapons - only certified security personnel with special registration may be permitted to do so. The change eliminates the current class E felony charge for firearm possession on campus grounds, shifting the legal standard for campus safety.
