Requires exterior exit doors in school buildings to remain unlocked from egress side and locked from access side at all times.

This bill requires all New Jersey school buildings (with two or more rooms, or single-room schools above the first floor) to keep exterior exit doors locked from the outside access side at all times but unlocked on the inside exit side for safe evacuation. During emergencies like fire alarms, school staff must manually unlock exterior doors or use automatic systems to allow outside access. Schools must also conduct monthly security drills (with police presence at least once yearly) and fire drills using fire escapes where available. The law directly affects all New Jersey public schools and aims to balance security with rapid emergency egress.
