A Kentucky lawmaker has introduced a bill requiring any police officer be armed when assigned to schools.
The measure introduced Monday is a follow-up to last year's school safety law that stemmed from a deadly school shooting.
The new measure was introduced by Senate Education Committee Chairman Max Wise.
Last year's school safety law did not specify whether school police needed to carry a weapon.
The follow-up measure would require that all school-based police officers be armed.
Last year's school safety law was in response to the January 2018 shooting at Marshall County High School.
Two 15-year-old students were killed.
