This bill establishes the "Make Our Schools Safer" Commission, which will be tasked with producing protocols on how to make schools in New York safer from school shootings and bombings. The commission will examine the effectiveness and feasibility of various technologies, such as bulletproof glass and doors, auto-locking technologies, lockdown systems, and barricades, to reduce casualties in such events. The commission will be composed of 10 members appointed by the governor, legislative leaders, and will include representatives from law enforcement, education, and engineering fields. The commission will report its findings and recommendations to the governor and legislature within one year of the bill's effective date, and the provisions of the bill will expire and be repealed two years after it becomes law.
