SB 814 by Sen. Fine – Weapons or Firearms at School-sponsored Events or on School Property
Expand firearm carry rights on college and university campuses, allowing individuals to carry weapons in dormitories, residence halls, and other campus facilities. Amends existing state law governing firearms on educational property while establishing new security provisions for university sporting events. The bill would modify state law, which currently prohibits the possession of firearms at school-sponsored events and on school property, including K-12 institutions, school buses, and designated bus stops.
Under the proposed changes, individuals would remain prohibited from storing firearms on these premises but would no longer be barred from carrying them on college and university grounds. Exceptions would remain for law enforcement officers and individuals authorized to carry a concealed weapon under state law.
Also grants colleges and universities the authority to designate “sensitive locations” where firearms would be prohibited during sporting and athletic events. To obtain such a designation, institutions must submit a security plan to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for approval, and the department would be required to develop and publish an electronic application process for these designations. The bill does not impose a blanket prohibition on firearms at all campus events, leaving the decision to each institution.

Titled “Strengthening Homeownership in Florida Act” to establish a clear distinction between traditional single-family homeownership and corporate-backed “hybrid housing” models, which critics argue are replacing communities with investment portfolios.
