AI Summary

This bill directs the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), which is a state agency responsible for professional standards and training for public safety personnel, to conduct a comprehensive study exploring the potential for placing police officers or security guards in schools. The department is required to prepare and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on judiciary matters by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations based on their findings. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, which ensures that this is a time-limited initiative. The purpose appears to be gathering information and exploring strategies to enhance school security, with the ultimate goal of potentially developing more comprehensive school safety policies or interventions based on the study's results.
