SB 174, allowing weapons on campus, was passed out of the House Education Committee Monday by a vote of 4-3. The committee made no amendments to the bill.
As reported last Friday, the bill was heard by the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. We wanted to let advocates know that we have posted an updated analysis of the bill online. You may find this useful if you intend to testify or send written comments to the committee today. You can find this analysis at http://www.alaska.edu/files/state/2016.04.11-SB-174-memo-to-House-Judiciary-signed.pdf
