Submitted today, was H0222. This bill would change the authority of the Idaho colleges, etc. in their regulation of firearms on Campus.
Changes the following to read (strike-outs are the old language; underlines are the new language):
Quote:
18-3302(J)(5)This section shall not be construed to affect:(c) The authority of the board of regents of the university of Idaho, the boards of trustees of the state colleges and universities, the board of for professional-technical education, and the boards of trustees of each of the community colleges established under chapter 21, title 33, Idaho Code, or a dormitory housing commission established under chapter 21, title 33, Idaho Code, to regulate in matters relating to firearms in undergraduate residential facilities owned or operated by such institutions or commissions, as provided for in title 33, Idaho Code.
|
In addition, 6 new sections of code are to be added. Each deals with the separate educational authorities and are all worded the same:
Quote:
|
[State governing board] shall have no authority to regulate the lawful possession of firearms except that the [board] may regulate or prohibit the possession of firearms in undergraduate student housing owned or operated by the district.
|
Read the above closely, as it permits possession and carry, but the various boards may regulate or prohibit guns in undergrad housing only.
