Relating to: possession of a firearm on school grounds by school employees and fees for licenses to carry a concealed weapon. (FE)
SB 167 allows licensed teachers to carry concealed firearms on school grounds under specific conditions. It requires schools (public, charter, private, or tribal) to adopt written policies permitting this, and exempts licensed teachers from firearm possession restrictions in school areas if their school has such a policy. The bill also adjusts concealed carry license fees: new licenses cost up to $37 (covering issuance costs), and renewals cost up to $12. These changes apply to applications submitted on the bill's effective date. The law directly affects licensed teachers, school districts, and the Department of Justice (which sets fees).
