Possession of firearms on school property; penalties. Changes the penalty for possession of a firearm on school property from a Class 6 felony to a Class 1 misdemeanor, the same penalty that applies to the possession of other weapons on school property. However, if a person possesses a firearm on school property with the intent to use the firearm unlawfully or to threaten or endanger another person, or if a person actually uses the firearm in an unlawful manner or threatens or endangers another person, such person is guilty of a Class 6 felony. If a person unlawfully discharges a firearm upon school property, upon other property being used exclusively for school-sponsored functions or extracurricular activities, or upon a school bus, such person shall be sentenced to a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of five years.

Firearms; possession with intent to use on school property is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
