It has not been brought up for a vote yet.

Um, maybe someone can put in laymans terms how this bill (if passed) will affect CCW on school campus?
Currently work in education (public school) and wanted clarification!

As I understand it, and IANAL so I could be totally wrong about this, public schools would still be off limits but private schools would be able to decide whether they wanted to allow it or not. You would be able to leave a gun in a car at either a private or public school though. As I said, that's my interpretation.

include only a public elementary or secondary school

So that means ccw at universities. I'm not sure about high schools...are those considered secondary schools?
Keep in mind that Federal laws still apply for public schools. The bill is currently mired in the usual legislative maze.
