School security systems requirement as a part of the State Fire Code
This bill requires the Minnesota State Fire Code to include mandatory security systems in schools to protect students from armed attacks. It directs the state fire commissioner to develop specific rules during a rulemaking process that would cover measures like bullet-resistant doors, ballistic wall panels, remote lock-down systems, and emergency access for first responders. The legislation also mandates training for school staff on emergency protocols and includes requirements for electronic access controls and classroom duress alarms. This change directly affects all public and private schools in Minnesota by establishing a comprehensive, multilayered security framework.
