Bill Summary
An Act concerning certain emergency operations plans and amending P.L.2010, c.78.
AI Summary
This bill requires sports and entertainment facilities, movie theaters, and places of worship with significant seating capacities (over 5,000, 1,000, and 300 people respectively) to annually prepare and maintain detailed emergency operations plans in coordination with local emergency response agencies. These plans must include comprehensive emergency mapping data such as aerial building images, floor plans, room labels, access routes, hazardous material locations, and utility shut-off points. The facilities must electronically submit these plans to the municipal emergency management coordinator and chief law enforcement officer in their jurisdiction. The chief law enforcement officer will use these plans to prepare and train for potential mass casualty and active shooter incidents. Importantly, these emergency operations plans are explicitly designated as non-public records, meaning they cannot be accessed through standard public record requests. The bill defines specific terms like "emergency mapping data" and provides precise definitions for the types of facilities covered, ensuring clarity about which venues must comply with the new requirements. The bill takes effect immediately upon approval.
