↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Requires schools to offer optional firearm safety classes (with no actual guns present) that count toward hunter safety certification, increasing student exposure to and familiarity with safe firearm handling.
The commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner of environmental conservation, shall develop curriculum for courses on firearm safety which shall be age appropriate and developed according to the needs and abilities of pupils in grades six through twelve.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill directs development and optional school offering of firearm safety curriculum for grades 6-12, covering usage, maintenance, types, and safe hunting practices; it also equates completion with the hunter safety course for licensing. This expands practical knowledge of and access to lawful firearm use and hunting without adding any restrictions. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
