Relating to: possession of a firearm on school grounds by school employees and fees for licenses to carry a concealed weapon. (FE)
AB 55 modifies firearm possession rules on school grounds for licensed school employees and adjusts concealed carry license fees. It repeals restrictions preventing school employees from carrying concealed weapons and creates an exemption: licensed teachers may carry on school grounds if their school (public, charter, private, or tribal) has adopted a policy permitting it. The bill also sets a new $37 fee for initial concealed carry licenses (covering administrative costs) and a $12 renewal fee. These changes directly affect licensed school staff seeking to carry firearms on campus under approved school policies.
