Bill > SF2262

This bill establishes an Active Shooter Response Equipment Pilot Program administered by the commissioner of public safety to help local law enforcement agencies acquire equipment for responding to active shooter incidents in schools. Local law enforcement agencies that lack or have insufficient active shooter response equipment can apply for grants, with priority given to agencies without any such equipment. Applicants must submit a detailed application that includes information about the schools in their jurisdiction, such as grade levels, student enrollment, and specific location and design challenges that could impact an active shooter response. The application must also include a plan for storing the equipment in a way that allows for rapid access during an emergency, including assessing the feasibility of storing equipment directly within public schools. The bill appropriates a specific amount of funding (the exact dollar amount is not specified in the provided text) from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to establish and operate the pilot program, and this is designated as a one-time appropriation. The goal of the program is to improve local law enforcement's preparedness and response capabilities in the event of an active shooter situation in a school.
