Schools would teach yearly firearm safety in grades six through twelve

School districts and charter schools would provide firearm safety training every year. The requirement would cover students in sixth through twelfth grade in New Mexico school districts and charter schools. Schools could also offer the training to students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Schools would decide how to fit training into the school year. State-approved formats could include classroom lessons, videos, and printed or digital materials. The annual training requirement would begin in the 2027–2028 school year.

The Public Education Department and Department of Public Safety would develop or approve the training. These rules would apply to firearm safety training offered under the proposal. Lessons would match students' ages and development. They would cover safe storage, school safety, and responses to finding or accessing firearms when applicable. Lessons for young children, when applicable, would teach them to avoid injury, never touch a found firearm, and immediately tell an adult. Training would remain neutral on political and legal issues involving firearms and gun rights. Training would include no shooting, live ammunition, or live firearms. Approved training from a private person could not use branded content tied to a business or nonprofit organization.
