What it does
The bill requires the Secretary of Education to work with health, safety, and law enforcement agencies on best practices for securely storing firearms and preventing firearm-related suicide and injury, without encouraging or discouraging gun ownership, then share those practices with every local school district. Districts that receive certain federal funding must then create their own local guidance based on the best practices, including mental health resources, and distribute it to students, parents, and staff by mail and email each year starting with the 2027-2028 school year.
