Protect Every Preschooler Act of 2026

This bill changes the federal definition of "school zone" used in the Gun Free School Zones Act. Under current law, the definition covers certain schools. The bill would add early childhood education programs, as defined in the Higher Education Act of 1965, to that definition. It would also add preschools, using that law's meaning of an eligible preschool program. As a result, the federal gun-free school zone rules would also apply to the areas around these programs.
