HB 22-1106

House Bill 22-1106 changes Colorado law by allowing people with a concealed carry permit to bring hidden firearms onto public school grounds, including elementary, middle, and high schools. This means that local governments cannot make their own rules to stop these individuals from carrying concealed weapons at schools. The bill has been signed into law, so the new regulations are now in effect.

Official Summary

With certain exceptions, current law prohibits a concealed carry permit holder from carrying a concealed handgun on public elementary, middle, junior high, or high school grounds. The bill removes this limitation. The bill prohibits a local government from prohibiting carrying a concealed handgun on school grounds by a person who has a valid concealed carry permit. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
