Public Safety - Department of State Police - School Mapping Data Program

HB 1328 transfers oversight of Maryland's school emergency response mapping program from its current location to the Department of State Police. It requires public safety agencies producing school mapping data to meet specific standards, including compatibility with emergency software, true north orientation, aerial imagery overlays, and detailed labeling of hazards, utilities, and emergency equipment. The bill allows the School Safety Subcabinet to fund this work using the Safe Schools Fund, replacing prior funding mechanisms. This directly affects local school systems and public safety agencies responsible for creating and maintaining these emergency response maps for all public schools.
