Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the Guardian Program allowing armed school guardians and security guards (who carry concealed firearms) to child care facilities and revises related certification, training, and reporting rules for guardians and security guards; these provisions address firearms/carry and firearms/other but do not change background checks, weapon restrictions, red-flag laws, storage rules, preemption, or industry liability.
