House lawmakers in Idaho have passed a bill that would let some school employees carry concealed firearms without the need for school board permission.

In a 52–18 vote on March 11 approving the measure—called House Bill 122 (pdf)—lawmakers moved to expand the ability of school staff members to carry weapons on school grounds, which under current law requires a nod from the school board.
