HB 17-1036
failedConcealed Carry In Public Schools
Plain-English Summary
AI-generatedHouse Bill 17-1036, also known as the "Concealed Carry in Public Schools" bill, changes Colorado law by allowing people with valid concealed carry permits to bring handguns onto public school grounds. Previously, these individuals were not permitted to carry concealed weapons at elementary, middle, or high schools. The bill has been signed into law, meaning that permit holders can now legally carry concealed firearms on school property in Colorado, except for certain specified exceptions. This affects anyone with a concealed carry permit who wishes to enter public school grounds.
Official Summary
With certain exceptions, current law limits the authority of a person who holds a valid permit to carry a concealed handgun by prohibiting permit holders from carrying a concealed handgun on public elementary, middle, junior high, or high school grounds. The bill removes this limitation.
