An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in terms and courses of study, providing for instructions in firearm safety.

HB 1565 would amend Pennsylvania's Public School Code to require public schools to include firearm safety instruction as part of their curriculum. This bill directly affects Pennsylvania public school students and educators by mandating this new component in courses of study. The key provision requires schools to develop and implement age-appropriate firearm safety education within existing instructional frameworks. It does not address gun access or ownership but focuses on integrating safety knowledge into school programming. The bill is currently referred to the Education committee for further review.
