Bill Summary

This bill amends section 1 of P.L.2016, c.79 (C.18A:7G-5.2) to require that new public school construction and existing public school buildings include certain items that under the original 2016 law were only required under certain conditions. The items that will be required under the bill are: · one way driveways that lead to a clearly marked visitor parking area; · an access control system with remote unlocking features, an intercom, and fixed cameras at the school's main entrance and for other entrances; · a guard shack and gate on the school campus as an effective perimeter control; and · secure vestibules at the main entrance of the school building.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to require certain school security measures, such as one-way driveways, access control systems, guard shacks, and secure vestibules, to be incorporated into all new public school construction and existing public school buildings, rather than only under certain conditions as previously required. The bill also allows the Commissioner of Education to revise the architectural design standards for new school construction and the standards for new and existing school buildings to reflect updated recommendations or best practices for school security.
