House Minority Whip Greg Nibert, R-Roswell, is sponsoring legislation that would create and fund a regional pilot program for the use of software that can detect the potential presence of firearms on school property with security cameras.
Firearms on School Property Software, House Bill 295, would provide $2.5 million from the state’s general fund to provide schools in Chaves and other counties in the southeast region of the state — including Quay and Guadalupe — with software that would enhance the effectiveness of security cameras.
