The Michigan Legislature recently voted to pass several bills sponsored by Senator John J. Gleason, including his legislation to increase programs for gun safety in public schools. Under Senate Bill 1402, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is required to develop or adopt a model gun safety program based on the "Eddie Eagle" curriculum developed by the National Rifle Association to promote gun accident prevention. Beginning in the 2011 -- 2012 school year public schools across the state will be encouraged to adopt the model program developed by the MDE.
