KS House moves forward on NRA gun safety education bill

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Kansas lawmakers moved legislation forward to implement gun education programs in K-12 schools.

The House Committee on Federal and State Affairs approved House Bill 2304 Thursday. The legislation would direct the State Board of Education to establish curriculum guidelines and calls for the NRA’s Eddie Eagle program to be used in grades K-5.

Middle schools would use the same or Hunter Education from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. High school curriculums would also be based on Hunter Education.

The bill goes before the full House, who two weeks also received a similar bill, SB 116, from the Senate.
