Optional firearm safety lessons for students
Michigan’s education department must adopt and share a model firearm safety program by September 1, 2025, consulting with the natural resources department. School districts, intermediate districts, and public charter schools may offer it for grades 6–12, but are not required to. Schools can offer an optional extracurricular class or include lessons in an existing course teaching self-expression and enjoyment of recreation. The program must meet state safe firearm handling course standards and use a state-certified hunter education instructor. Lessons cover proper firearm use and handling, safe cleaning and maintenance, firearm types, and safe hunting. Firearms and ammunition cannot be brought into school buildings for these lessons. Students must be excused when they, their parent, or their legal guardian asks, without penalty or lost academic credit. Completing the instruction meets the hunter safety course requirement for a hunting license.
