This bill expands the Gun Free School Zones Act to include preschools and early childhood education programs in addition to traditional K-12 schools. The expansion applies the existing federal prohibition on firearms in school zones to these younger-age facilities, covering both early childhood education programs and preschools as defined under the Higher Education Act. The bill affects parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who might carry firearms near these facilities, as they would now be subject to the same federal gun restrictions that currently apply to traditional schools. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the legislation.
