=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 70%
Mandates firearm safety instruction in public and certain private schools for grades 6-12, developed with input from firearm safety experts including from a national rifle association, with opt-out provisions and restrictions on content like no firearm operation or use of operational firearms.
The State Board of Education by rule shall require instruction in firearm safety for students in grades 6 through 12.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires age-appropriate firearm safety education in schools focused on accident prevention and steps for encountering a firearm (without teaching operation or use), which expands safe storage practices around minors but is otherwise neutral on the firearms axis as it does not change access, ownership, carrying, or legal restrictions.
