Illinois HB1316 mandates immediate reporting of firearm incidents on school grounds by school officials.
HB1316 requires all school officials, including teachers and counselors, to immediately notify the principal if they observe a person in possession of a firearm on school grounds or become aware of a threat of gun violence. The principal must then notify the student's parent or guardian and coordinate with local law enforcement to ensure the student does not have access to a firearm. The bill also provides immunity from civil or criminal liability for officials reporting in good faith. Failure to comply is a petty offense, with subsequent offenses being a Class C misdemeanor.
