Bill > HB652

This bill transfers the responsibility for the School Mapping Data Program, which creates detailed digital maps of school campuses to aid first responders during emergencies, from the Center for School Safety to the Kentucky 911 Services Board, an organization that manages emergency communication services. The bill also clarifies that the Kentucky 911 Services Board will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of this mapping data through physical walk-throughs of school buildings and grounds, and it makes conforming changes to other related statutes, including granting the Kentucky 911 Services Board the authority to administer this program. Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, stating that accurate school mapping data is crucial for the safety of students during emergencies, and therefore, the Act will take effect immediately upon its passage.
