SB1020

THE CONTEXT: Current law requires the governing board of every educational institution to adopt and enforce rules pursuant to Title 41, Chapter 6, for the purpose of maintaining order and public safety. Any weapon, dangerous instrument or explosive that is found to violate the educational institution's regulations established by the board is subject to forfeiture pursuant to A.

WHAT THE BILL DID: of maintaining order and public safety. Any weapon, dangerous instrument or explosive that is found to violate the educational institution's regulations established by the board is subject to forfeiture pursuant to A.

WHY IT MATTERED: The practical reason for this bill was to make the licensing pathway more workable while retaining a defined state standard. It would state that the board of any postsecondary institution may not prohibit: a) the possession of a concealed weapon by an individual who possesses a valid concealed weapons permit; or b) the properly secured transportation or storage of a firearm in a motor vehicle or motorcycle, and would also make technical and conforming changes, rather than leave the current rule unchanged.
