Bill > HB0031

This bill requires Wyoming school districts to adopt comprehensive safety and security policies, including threat assessment procedures, by the 2026-2027 school year. Specifically, all door securement devices in public school buildings must be selected from a list approved by the state fire marshal, which must be published by July 1, 2025. The state fire marshal is tasked with creating and potentially updating annually a list of door securement devices appropriate for K-12 public school buildings. School district superintendents are responsible for implementing these safety policies, and importantly, the safety and security policies and their drafts will be kept confidential and not subject to public records disclosure. School district boards of trustees are permitted to develop, discuss, and review these policies in closed executive sessions, protecting sensitive security information. The bill emphasizes the importance of proactive school safety measures while maintaining discretion about specific security details, and it will become effective immediately upon completing the standard legislative process.
