This is the text of the original bill.
Where can I find text to the substitute to HB 972? Because HB 972 states "(e) A private or independent institution of higher
education in this state, after consulting with students, staff, and
faculty of the institution, may establish rules, regulations, or
other provisions prohibiting license holders from carrying
handguns on premises that are owned or leased and operated by the
institution and located on the campus of the institution."

So the way I read it, public higher education institutions would not be able to stop licensed CHL's from carrying on campus.
