SB886

Missouri SB886 creates the "Keep Our Schools Safe Act" to enhance school safety.

Missouri SB886, the "Keep Our Schools Safe Act," mandates that each school designate one or more school protection officers to be present on school campuses at all times when children are present. These officers can be teachers, administrators, or volunteers, all of whom must complete a school protection officer training program and carry a concealed firearm and a self-defense spray device. The act also allows for the purchase of firearms and eligible courses from eligible entities, with a tax credit of up to $150 per taxpayer.
