School safety commission.
HB 1016 requires that each county school safety commission include a fire chief or their designated representative as a voting member. This procedural bill directly affects county-level school safety commissions by mandating fire department representation on their boards. It does not change school safety policies but ensures fire safety expertise is formally integrated into commission decision-making. The bill became law on April 3, 2025, after gubernatorial approval.
