AI Summary

This bill allows schools to install barricade devices on interior doors, which are anchoring mechanisms that can be engaged to secure doors against forced entry. It prohibits the Department of Safety and Professional Services from banning the use of these devices and prevents cities, villages, and towns from enacting ordinances that prohibit their installation. The bill also requires schools to obtain approval from their local fire and law enforcement agencies before installing such devices, and mandates that emergency preparedness training for school staff include guidance on the use of these barricade devices.
