On friday, House Bill 1243, which would let colleges decide whether they will allow for trained and licensed staff and faculty to conceal and carry on campus, passed the State House by a bipartisan vote of 70-11. The bill, authored by Rep. Charlie Collins (R) of Fayetteville, will now head to State Senate for a vote which could come as early as this week.
Governor Beebe said Friday that he will likely sign the bill if passed now that it contains an opt-out provision for all colleges.
