| DE | Signed into law 07/2003 | P-12 | Relates to possession of a firearm or deadly weapon in a safe school and recreation zone. The federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) amended the Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994. The Gun Free Schools Act now requires that a state receiving federal education assistance have a law that students be expelled not just for bringing a firearm to school, but for possessing a firearm in school. This bill amends the criminal code to implement this requirement of NCLB. http://www.legis.state.de.us/Legislature.nsf/fsLIS?openframeset&Frame=Main&Src=/LIS/LIS142.NSF/Home!Openform
