Bill > SB1946

This bill amends the School Safety Drill Act to modify how crisis response mapping data is distributed and managed. The bill requires the State Board of Education to make crisis response mapping data available to various educational entities, including public school districts, charter schools, special education cooperatives, and early childhood programs. Any entity receiving this data must provide copies to local, county, state, and federal first responders to assist in emergency response. The crisis response mapping data must be provided electronically and meet specific technical requirements, such as being compatible with existing security software, printable, verified through an on-site walk-through, oriented to true north, overlaid on current aerial imagery, and containing detailed site-specific labeling like room numbers, hallway names, and locations of critical utilities. The bill stipulates that the State Board will provide the data to eligible entities in the order they apply, subject to available appropriations. The mapping data is intended to help first responders quickly and effectively navigate and respond to emergencies in school settings.
