SB 1382 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING SCHOOL MAPPING DATA SERVICES.

SB 1382 creates a state grant program to fund school mapping data services for local and regional school boards. The bill requires mapping data to meet 11 specific standards, including compatibility with public safety software, true north orientation, detailed floor plans overlaid on verified aerial imagery, site-specific labels for hazards and emergency equipment, and permanent free access for schools and public safety agencies. Grants cover the cost of creating this data but not ongoing maintenance. The Department of Emergency Services must develop application criteria by October 2025 and report annually on grant usage starting in 2027. The bill directly affects school boards, public safety agencies, and the entities producing the mapping data.
