RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 629 (HB 602) 2018 Regular Session Miguez
Existing law provides for a crime which prohibits the carrying of a firearm or dangerous
weapon by a student or nonstudent on school property, at school-sponsored functions, or in
a firearm free zone, and further provides for specific exceptions to this offense.
Existing law provides for the issuance of a concealed handgun permit for a person who meets
certain eligibility and training requirements, but further provides that a concealed handgun
permit does not authorize nor entitle the permit holder to carry a concealed handgun in
certain places, including into a school, school campus, or a school bus.
New law retains existing law but adds an exception to the existing law crime for any person
who has a valid concealed handgun permit issued pursuant to existing law who carries a
concealed handgun within one thousand feet of any school campus.
Effective August 1, 2018.
