The "School Safety and Security Act"; establishes penalties for certain criminal acts committed on school property.

S 1673, the "School Safety and Security Act," establishes new criminal penalties for specific actions that disrupt school safety measures in New Jersey. It makes it a fourth-degree crime to intentionally enter school property after being told not to, provide false information to school staff, interfere with security devices or emergency protocols, or falsely trigger lockdowns. The bill also prohibits sharing school safety plans, drills, or security procedures without written permission from school officials, restricting public access to these materials. These provisions directly affect visitors, students, staff, and anyone entering school property, aiming to protect school safety operations. The bill fills a gap in current law by creating specific criminal penalties for school safety-related violations.
