School Shooting Safety and Preparedness Act

The School Shooting Safety and Preparedness Act (HR 2869) requires the U.S. Department of Education to publish an annual report on school crime and safety, including detailed data on every school shooting incident. The report must track the number of shootings, whether they were mass incidents, the age, race, and gender of victims and shooters, firearm details, how incidents ended, and safety measures like security protocols or emergency plans in place at the school. This applies to all schools defined by the bill, including elementary, secondary, and higher education institutions. The law also mandates collecting historical data on shootings before the bill's enactment to provide a comprehensive national record.
