- Requires schools to submit their site maps to local emergency response agencies and update them annually
- Directs the state education department to establish standards and guidelines for the site mapping process
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would impact all public and private schools, as well as local emergency response agencies that would receive and utilize the site mapping data. Improved emergency preparedness could enhance the safety of students, teachers, and first responders.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Education committee and must pass through the legislative process before becoming law. If enacted, schools would have a defined timeline to develop and submit their site maps to local authorities.
