disruption; educational institution; concealed weapon
SB 1020 (Arizona) prohibits public universities, colleges, and community colleges from banning concealed weapons for permit holders on campus, while allowing schools to maintain rules against weapons in classrooms or during events. It defines "disruption" as threatening injury/damage, entering campus to interfere with activities, or refusing lawful orders to leave. Violations of disruption rules are classified as a class 1 misdemeanor (for entry) or class 6 felony (for threats), with schools required to adopt safety rules but not barred from gun safety programs. The bill was passed by the legislature but vetoed by the governor in May 2025, so it did not become law.
