Summary

This Senate Amendment contains the essential provisions of House Bill No. 311, as amended by House Amendments No. 1 and 2, but instead of adding criminal provisions relating to possession of a firearm at a college or university to the existing statute prohibiting firearms in a (elementary or secondary) Safe School Zone, it instead rewrites the bill to create a separate statute to address College and University Safe Zones. It retains an effective date of January 1, 2025. The Senate Amendment then makes the following substantive changes: it excludes state and locally owned and maintained or operated streets and roads with public vehicular traffic, and their attendant pedestrian and bike paths that pass through or adjacent to the grounds of public or private colleges or universities from the statutory prohibition on firearms. It also lowers the penalty from a class F felony to a class A misdemeanor. It adds an explicit severability clause. Finally, it places jurisdiction over this crime in the Superior Court.
