Board of Regents vote to litigate HB 102
05.14.21
The Board of Regents voted UNANIMOUSLY to litigate HB 102 (guns on campus) on the question of constitutional authority early on the morning of May 19, 2021.
Each regent cited the overwhelming public comment in favor of litigation, including handwritten notes. They were referring to the advocacy efforts by MFPE and its partners.
Soon, educators, students and Montanans will know who truly is responsible for student and staff safety on college campuses across Montana.
Please use this link to thank the Regents for their courageous vote.
