Safe Firearm Storage Law and notice

Safe Firearm Storage Law Requires Districts to Provide Information to Parents, Caregivers 

Districts are required to send information home to parents and caregivers on the safe storage of firearms. This is in accordance with the “Safe Firearm Storage Laws,” MCL 28.429, MCL 380.1313a, and MCL 380.1313b. 

Specific resources required to be sent home to parents and caregivers include: What is the Secure Storage Law in Michigan and Safe Firearm Storage Notice. The Michigan Department of Education, in partnership with the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, provides the required documents on the MDE Safe Firearm Storage Law webpage in multiple languages. Schools are strongly encouraged to share the link to this webpage on their district’s homepage so parents and caregivers can easily find and access the information. MDE also recommends using the title “Safe Firearm Storage Law” instead of “Safe Storage Law” in website links, webpages, and communications to provide greater clarity. 

Additional resources and information can be found on the MDE Safe Firearm Storage Law webpage. Questions may be directed to MDE’s Office of Health and Safety at MDE-OHS@Michigan.gov.
