What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the person having direct charge of any public or private

school must drill all pupils in what to do in the case of a fire, tornado, and school

safety incident. Current law requires that these drills be conducted without previous

warning. Under this bill, the person having direct charge of the public or private

school may provide previous warning of any of these drills if he or she determines

that providing previous warning of the drill is in the best interest of pupils attending

the school.
