What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, as part of a school safety plan, public and private schools must submit a copy of the most recent blueprints or mapping data for each school building and facility to each local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction and to the Office of School Safety in the Department of Justice. Also under current law, DOJ awards grants to school boards and governing bodies of private schools to assist them in complying with this requirement.
This bill uses the term “interactive critical mapping data” to describe the mapping data and defines the term as interactive representations of a specific location that are verifiable, digital, shareable, and shown in real time.
