A bill for an act relating to firearm safety instruction in school districts.

HF 791 requires Iowa school districts to implement firearm safety instruction for students. By July 2026, the state must develop and distribute age-appropriate model programs: kindergarten through grade six must use the NRA's Eddie Eagle program, while grades seven through twelve must use the NRA's hunter education course. School districts must offer these courses to all students in grades seven through twelve (including nonpublic school students in the district), allowing non-licensed instructors and off-campus locations. The bill specifies that implementation costs will be covered by existing state school foundation aid, with no new state funding required.
