House gives initial approval to bill altering college campus policies
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A bill that started out as a way to allow colleges to designate campus protection officers soon turned into a vehicle to address grievances with higher education laws and policies.
Amendments added during the perfection process included opt outs for campus health care, limitations on campus living requirements, and legalizing concealed carry on college campus.
In its original form, HB 575, filed by Rep. Dean Dohrman, authorizes colleges and universities to designate faculty or staff members as campus protection officers.
