HB0111: School Safety and Security

Last scannedOct 19, 2026, 2:19 AM

In one sentence

This bill would allow school district employees with valid concealed carry permits to carry firearms on school property if the school board adopts specific rules and approves the employees.

What it does

  • Allows school district employees with a valid Wyoming concealed carry permit to carry a concealed firearm on school property.
  • Requires the school board of trustees to adopt rules and regulations that allow this practice.
  • Requires the school board to establish an application and approval process for employees who want to carry firearms.
  • Requires employees carrying firearms to keep the firearm on their person at all times.
  • Requires the school board to maintain a list of the names and locations of employees permitted to carry firearms.
  • Requires the school superintendent to notify parents and guardians about the rules for employees carrying firearms.
  • Requires the school superintendent to notify local law enforcement agencies about which employees are allowed to carry firearms.
  • Prohibits students from carrying firearms on school property.
  • Amends state laws to create an exception to rules that generally ban firearms in schools for these specific employees.

Who it affects

  • Employees of Wyoming school districts who hold a valid concealed carry permit.
  • School district boards of trustees and superintendents.
  • Parents and guardians of students in those school districts.
  • Law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over the school area.

Limits and unknowns

  • The bill did not pass in the 2014 session, so these rules were not enacted into law.
  • The bill text is labeled as a 'Working Draft,' which may differ from the final version if it had passed.
  • The bill does not specify the exact details of the application process, only that the school board must create one.
