AB 1026, known as the Private School Carry Act, was introduced by some Assembly Republicans. The bill would allow anyone with a concealed-carry license to carry that gun on school grounds, and, if the school board passes a policy, those guns could be concealed-carried into buildings.

Under the proposal, if a school district doesn’t allow concealed carry, but an individual carries onto school grounds, the penalty for doing so would be decreased to a forfeiture instead of a felony. The bill is in the Assembly Committee on State Affairs. There currently is no companion bill in the Senate.
