Bill Summary
Amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), entitled "An act relating to the public school system, including certain provisions applicable as well to private and parochial schools; amending, revising, consolidating and changing the laws relating thereto," in school safety and security, providing for school safety blueprint requirement.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require all school entities, which include public and private schools, charter schools, intermediate units, and career and technical schools in Pennsylvania, to provide current building blueprints to local police departments or the Pennsylvania State Police. Schools must submit initial blueprints and then provide updated versions whenever changes are made to a building's layout. The purpose appears to be to enhance school safety by ensuring that law enforcement has accurate, up-to-date building floor plans in case of emergencies such as active shooter situations or other critical incidents. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, giving schools time to prepare and comply with the new requirement to share building blueprints with local law enforcement agencies.
