Relative to background checks during motions to return firearms and ammunition and relative to invalidating out-of-state driver's licenses issued to undocumented immigrants and relative to requiring schools to engage an owner's project manager for construction of school building aid projects at the time of application.
This bill, HB506, proposes several changes related to firearms, driver's licenses, and school construction. First, it requires background checks for firearms and ammunition when they are returned to their owners following a legal motion. Second, it aims to invalidate out-of-state driver's licenses issued to undocumented immigrants. Lastly, it mandates that schools hire a project manager for any school building projects funded by state aid at the time of the application.
This bill would mainly affect gun owners, undocumented immigrants, and school districts. Gun owners would need to undergo background checks when getting their firearms and ammunition back. Undocumented immigrants with out-of-state licenses would need to obtain new ones. Schools would need to ensure they have a project manager when applying for state aid for building projects.
HB506 was introduced on January 14, 2025, and after going through several stages, including committee reviews and reports, it was finally passed and signed by the governor on August 11, 2025. The provisions related to firearms and licenses will take effect on January 1, 2026, while the school construction provision will be removed by September 30, 2025.
