The measure passed the House 82-15 and was approved 27-6 in the Senate. It allows schools to hire retired law enforcement officers after they meet certain requirements, such as completing a 40-hour school security course.

The measure makes information about which teachers are armed or which schools allow the guns confidential to everyone but law enforcement. Haslam included $34 million in his budget for local government officials to use on their priorities, which could include security measures.
