Bill > HB1076

This bill creates the Committee on School Safety within the Department of Public Safety in Missouri, establishing a multi-agency group tasked with addressing school safety concerns. The committee will be composed of up to nine members, including representatives from the Department of Public Safety, Missouri Sheriffs' Association, Missouri Municipal League, Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Missouri School Boards' Association's Center for Education Safety. A Department of Public Safety member will serve as the committee chair, and while members will not receive compensation, they can be reimbursed for necessary expenses. The committee is required to meet at least four times per year, with meetings being open to the public (with certain exceptions allowed by existing state transparency laws), and will focus on evaluating and establishing guidelines for school safety issues, particularly plans to prevent firearm violence in schools. After each meeting, the committee must submit a written report to the governor and leaders of both legislative chambers, providing transparency and accountability for their efforts to improve school safety across Missouri.
