HB 6209 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT REQUIRING PUBLIC SCHOOLS BE EQUIPPED WITH CLASSROOM DOORS THAT LOCK FROM THE INSIDE.

HB 6209 requires all public school classrooms in the state to be equipped with doors that can be locked from the inside. This directly affects public schools by mandating a specific safety feature for classroom doors. The key provision is the requirement that doors must lock internally - replacing doors that may only lock from the outside. The bill's stated purpose is to enhance safety during emergencies by allowing students and teachers to secure classrooms quickly.
