Concerning spring blade knives.

HB 1962 prohibits carrying spring blade knives (automatic-opening knives with spring or gravity mechanisms) on K-12 school grounds, school transportation, and school-related facilities. It defines "spring blade knife" as excluding knives requiring manual effort to open, and makes violations a misdemeanor (gross misdemeanor for repeat offenses). The bill also requires 72-hour detention and mental health evaluation for minors (12-21) arrested for carrying such knives on school property, with school staff/security personnel exempt under specific training conditions. Exemptions include school security officers, authorized firearm demonstrations, and competitions.
