Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends school threat assessment procedures to mandate parental notification and provision of materials that specifically address safe firearm storage laws for minors and strategies to limit student access to firearms (and medications) when a threat is identified. This adds requirements and information promoting firearm storage and access limits in the school safety context, without changing underlying access, ownership, or other firearm rules. No provisions address transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
