Committee on Judiciary
Overview
Limits the authority of a university, college or community college governing board to prohibit
a person from lawfully possessing a concealed weapon under a valid permit or transporting
or storing a firearm in the person's car or motorcycle on university, college or community
college campus.
History
Current law requires the governing board of every educational institution to adopt and
enforce rules pursuant to Title 41, Chapter 6, for the purpose of maintaining order and public
safety. Any weapon, dangerous instrument or explosive that is found to violate the
educational institution's regulations established by the board is subject to forfeiture pursuant
to A.R.S. § 13-3105 and A.R.S. Title 13, Chapter 39
Educational institution is defined as any university, college, community college, high school
or common school in the state of Arizona. Property of an educational institution is defined to
include any land, buildings or other facilities that are owned, operated or controlled by the
Board of an educational institution and devoted to educational purposes (A.R.S. § 13-2911).
A.R.S. § 13-3112 outlines the process and requirements for a person to obtain a permit to
carry a concealed weapon, and A.R.S. § 12-781 provides for the lawful transportation or
storage of a firearm in or on a person's privately owned motor vehicle or motorcycle.
