Senate Bill 124 would require parents or guardians of school children to notify the school district or the governing body of a private or charter school, that he or she owns a firearm within 30 days of enrolling the child in school or becoming the owner of a firearm.
The written notification only needs to include the names of the parent and children and whether or not he or she owns a firearm. They do not need to list what type or how many firearms they own.
Failure to notify the school would be punishable by up to $100. Parents could be charged with negligence if a firearm is brought to school by a child, kills or injures another person with it or commits a crime with it and it’s found that the firearm was not in a secure location or locked. The fine for that would be $1000 plus any other penalties authorized by law.
