A 5258 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to site mapping for emergency response data and school safety plans

This bill updates New York's school safety laws to require districts to create detailed, confidential site maps for emergency responders and provides state funding to cover the cost of producing these maps. The maps must include floor plans, aerial imagery, and specific labels for hazards and utilities in a digital format that works with existing law enforcement and school security software without requiring new purchases. Additionally, the legislation authorizes the state to offer extra financial aid to school districts for purchasing security devices like stationary metal detectors and cameras, provided these items are included in the district's approved safety plan. By standardizing how emergency data is shared and funded, the bill aims to ensure first responders have accurate, up-to-date information during crises while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive school layouts.
