Bill > HB652

This bill transfers the responsibility for the School Mapping Data Program, which provides electronic or digital mapping information to assist first responders in emergencies at schools, from the Center for School Safety to the Kentucky 911 Services Board. The Kentucky 911 Services Board will now be responsible for developing and ensuring the accuracy of this data, which includes detailed floor plans, aerial imagery, and site-specific labeling of school buildings and grounds, making it compatible with public safety agency software and accessible at no cost. The bill also makes conforming changes to other statutes and declares an emergency, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage due to the critical need for accurate school mapping data for emergency response.
