Limits the authority of a university, college or community college (postsecondary institution) governing board to prohibit a person from lawfully possessing a concealed weapon under a valid permit or transporting a firearm in the person's motor vehicle on campus.
History
Current law requires the governing board of every educational institution to adopt and enforce rules pursuant to Title 41, Chapter 6, for the purpose of maintaining order and public safety. Any weapon, dangerous instrument or explosive that is found to violate the educational institution's regulations established by the board is subject to forfeiture pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-3105 and A.R.S. Title 13, Chapter 39.
Educational institution is defined as any university, college, community college, high school or common school in the state of Arizona. Property of an educational institution is defined to include any land, buildings or other facilities that are owned, operated or controlled by the board of an educational institution and devoted to educational purposes (A.R.S. § 13-2911).
