(HB5985) Bill Filed to Change School Policy in regards to Hunting Rifles

Bill Filed to Change School Policy in regards to Hunting Rifles

Representative Reginald Phillips (Republican Charleston, Illinois) introduced HB5985 on February 11, 2016.

HB5985 - SCH CD-EXPULSION-HUNTING RIFLE

Hunting Rifles
Amends the School Code. With respect to the suspension or expulsion of pupils, provides that if a firearm generally used for hunting purposes is found to be in a student's vehicle and the student has not faced prior disciplinary action for bringing a weapon to school, then the school board may not expel the student (rather than requiring expulsion for a period of not less than one year). Provides that the school board may suspend the student for no more than 3 days instead. Provides that these provisions do not apply to a handgun as defined in the Firearm Concealed Carry Act or any firearm located outside of the student's vehicle on school property.
