House Bill 1020 amends the Education Code to prohibit a student from being expelled solely on the basis of the student's use, exhibition, or possession of a firearm that occurs at an approved target range facility while the student is participating or preparing for a school‑sponsored shooting sports competition or a shooting sports educational activity sponsored or supported by the Parks and Wildlife Department or by a shooting sports sanctioning organization working with the Parks and Wildlife Department. The bill adds that this provision does not authorize a student to bring a firearm on school property to participate in or prepare for such a school-sponsored shooting sports competition or shooting sports educational activity.
