Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. In 23 states the decision to ban or allow concealed carry weapons on campuses is made by each college or university individually: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Four states in addition to Colorado now have provisions allowing the carrying of concealed weapons on public postsecondary campuses. These states are Mississippi, Oregon, Utah, and Wisconsin. Bill Provisions: A permit issued pursuant to the Colorado Concealed Weapons Act, does not authorize a permit holder to possess a concealed handgun: In any building or structure, or any portion thereof, that is used by a public institution of higher education for any purpose; In any stadium or arena that is used by a public institution of higher education to host events, including but not limited to athletic and extracurricular events and graduation ceremonies; or At an outdoor, institution-sponsored event on the campus of the institution at which the chief administrator of the institution's campus, in consultation with the chief officer of the institution's campus safety agency, has elected to prohibit the carrying of firearms. Exemptions: A permit holder employed by a public institution of higher education as a security officer is exempted from these prohibitions while on duty. Fiscal Impact: The Colorado Legislative Council estimates there will be a fiscal impact of $19,983 every five years due to an increase in convictions of unlawfully carrying a weapon on college or university grounds.
