SECTION 1. Section 16-23-420(A) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

The provisions of this subsection related to any premises or property owned, operated, or controlled by a private or public school, college, university, technical college, or other post-secondary institution, do not apply to a person who is authorized to carry a concealed weapon pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 31, Title 23 when the weapon remains inside an attended or locked motor vehicle and is secured in a closed glove compartment, closed console, closed trunk, or in a closed container secured by an integral fastener and transported in the luggage compartment of the vehicle. Except as provided in Section 23-31-215(M), the provisions of this subsection related to any premises or property owned, operated, or controlled by a college, university, technical college, or other post-secondary institution do not apply to a person who is authorized to carry a concealed weapon pursuant to Article 4, Chapter 31, Title 23.
The governing body of a college, university, technical college, or other post-secondary institution shall develop policies to implement the provisions contained in this subsection."
