June 30, 2023: House Bill 201 is supposed to let a police officer to act immediately when they see or suspect that a someone has a gun in a Safe School and Recreation Zone.

The bill gives regulations for schools to follow when a student has a firearm in a Safe School and Recreation Zone -- expulsion for 3 months is the average punishment but the school board can modify it.
