House Bill 2 provides $1 million to MUS for implementation of gun bill
House Bill 2, an appropriations bill in the Montana Legislature, includes $1 million for the Montana University System to implement House Bill 102. Signed into law by Gov. Greg Gianforte on Feb. 18, HB 102 will allow guns to be carried on college and university campuses starting in June.
The billâs text lists firearm training, metal detectors and awareness campaigns as possible uses for the funds. It also clarifies that implementation of HB 102 would be void if MUS contests its legality in a lawsuit. ASUM is against HB 2, listing drastic cuts to need-based student aid all while putting more money behind HB 102.Â
