Synopsis As Introduced Amends the School Code. Requires all school officials to immediately notify the office of the principal in the event that they: observe any person in possession of a firearm on school grounds; become aware of any person in possession of a firearm on school grounds; or become aware of any threat of gun violence on school grounds. If there is a report filed notifying a local law enforcement agency of any of such event, requires the principal to immediately notify the student's parent or guardian and, in coordination with the local law enforcement agency, to attempt to meet with the student's parent or guardian to ensure the student does not have access to a firearm. Effective immediately.
House Floor Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill, but provides that the principal or principal's designee (rather than the principal or principal's designee in coordination with the local law enforcement agency) shall attempt to contact (rather than meet with) the student's parent or guardian to ensure the student does not have access to a firearm. Effective immediately.
House Floor Amendment No. 2 Provides that if the report pertains to a threat of firearm violence made by a student, the principal or the principal's designee shall attempt to (rather than immediately) notify that student's parent or guardian as soon as possible. Provides that the principal or principal's designee shall further attempt to contact the student's parent or guardian so that the parent or guardian may ensure that the student does not have access to a firearm.
