What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires each school board and the governing body of each private school to have in effect a school safety plan. Current law also requires a school board and a governing body of a private school to submit a copy of the most recent blueprints of the school to each local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the school and to the office of school safety in the Department of Justice. This bill changes the requirement so that the school board or governing body may provide critical incident mapping data instead of blueprints.
This bill requires DOJ to award grants to school districts and private schools to assist them in submitting critical incident mapping data. The bill requires schools to apply for the grants jointly with a local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the school. Grant moneys awarded must be used for site-specific critical incident mapping data to enhance security and increase situational awareness for first responders. The bill requires that mapping data created with grant money must be compatible with platforms and applications used by local, state, and federal public safety officials and must include information to best assist first responders in an emergency, such as building numbers, floors, or room numbers.
