AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing law to require that school resource officers (SROs) be located at the local police station, rather than on school grounds, and to serve as the primary emergency responders to calls from public schools. It also specifies that SROs and any special service officers appointed to the school district shall not be located on school grounds, except when responding to school-based emergencies, and shall not serve as school disciplinarians or enforcers of school regulations in place of licensed school psychologists, psychiatrists, or counselors.
