2025-03-24: Acts of Assembly Chapter text (CHAP0525)
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends existing law on contacting parents of students at imminent suicide risk to require provision of suicide prevention materials that must include information on legal safe firearm storage around minors (per § 18.2-56.2) and may include guidance on limiting access to firearms; it also updates Board of Education guidelines to cover selection of such materials. This adds a firearms storage component to suicide prevention efforts but does not change any underlying firearms access, ownership, or storage laws. No provisions address transgender issues, abortion, or immigration.
