Bill Summary

This bill amends section 1 of P.L.2016, c.79 (C.18A:7G-5.2) to require that new public school construction and existing public school buildings include certain items that under the original 2016 law were only required under certain conditions. The items that will be required under the bill are: · one way driveways that lead to a clearly marked visitor parking area; · an access control system with remote unlocking features, an intercom, and fixed cameras at the school's main entrance and for other entrances; · a guard shack and gate on the school campus as an effective perimeter control; and · secure vestibules at the main entrance of the school building.

AI Summary

This bill amends an existing law to require certain school security measures to be incorporated into both new public school construction and existing public school buildings. The key provisions include: one-way driveways leading to a visitor parking area, access control systems with remote unlocking features, a guard shack and gate for perimeter control, and secure vestibules at the main entrance. The bill removes the previous conditions and funding requirements, making these security measures mandatory for all new and existing public schools. The commissioner can also revise the architectural design and security standards to reflect new recommendations or best practices.
