S07170 Provides for a gun violence prevention program in the public schools; provides that the program is to be developed by the department of education in conjunction with other state agencies and educational organizations and is to be made available to schools for use in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade; provides for a report to the governor and the legislature on the program; enacts the "gun violence prevention act".

Direction

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a voluntary school-based gun violence prevention education program focused on teaching youth non-violent conflict resolution and victim prevention skills to reduce gunshot injuries and deaths. It explicitly states that the program does not oppose gun ownership or supervised use for hunting/sport. This is classified under firearms/other as it addresses youth gun violence through education without changing rules on purchase, carry, ownership, accessories, or other listed subtopics. No provisions on transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
