=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Creates a certification program and defines roles for retired law enforcement as school resource officers who provide safety and security on school grounds, including law enforcement functions, without changing general firearm access rules.
The department shall, utilizing boards of cooperative educational services, establish a school resource officer training program to certify retired police officers, retired deputy sheriffs, retired state troopers and retired federal law enforcement officers as school resource officers
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a school resource officer program using retired law enforcement, explicitly authorizing them to carry licensed firearms on school grounds (expands firearms/carry) while adding certification, training, and earnings-limit exceptions that do not otherwise alter firearm purchase, ownership, or other restrictions.
