Campus Carry Question

[barres]

Boxerrider,

True that. Lots of room for cleanup. A thought crossed my mind on this: With it delayed implementation on junior colleges till 2017, it may get cleaned up before it even takes effect...well almost anyway. A lot of the legislative output takes effect on 9/1. Most semesters start a week or 2 from that in late August.

And this law won't take effect for Jr. Colleges and Community Colleges until after the next Legislative session, right before school starts, on August 01, 2017, only to (potentially) change 31 days later on September 01, 2017!

KILLEEN -

The campus carry concealed weapons law could be coming to a local community college much sooner than legally mandated.

The controversial bill was signed into law last summer and allows for the concealed carrying of weapons on public college campuses across the state.

Four-year universities have until august of 2016 to incorporate the law on campus, but 2-year universities and junior colleges have another year, until august of 2017.

Despite their "junior college" ranking, several members of the Board of Trustees at Central Texas College in Killeen, are hoping to roll out "campus carry" by August of this year.

Campus carry will not go into effect for Texas community colleges until Aug. 1, 2017, but last month a few Central Texas College board members proposed the possibility of implementing it earlier.
