SCHOOLS: Provides for school mapping data of public school buildings and facilities. (8/1/25) (EN +$2,400,000 GF EX See Note)

Removed a detailed schedule requiring schools to start collecting data within specific timeframes based on their enrollment numbers (e.g., schools with 1,000+ students had a one-year deadline).

Removed the requirement that school mapping data must be compatible with security software platforms used by schools.

Changed the list of bill sponsors from a large group of legislators to a single senator.

Changed the name of the agency from 'Louisiana Center for Safe Schools' to 'Center for Safe Schools'.

The deadline for submitting blueprints and mapping data was changed from a staggered schedule based on school construction year and enrollment size to a uniform start date that begins immediately after the section's effective date for all schools.

Representatives were added as co-sponsors to the bill, expanding the legislative support base beyond just Senators.

The text was updated to ensure clarity that the requirement to submit blueprints applies to all public school buildings and facilities without the previous conditional delays.

Added multiple co-sponsors to the bill, including Senators Abraham, Barrow, Boudreaux, Carter, Cloud, Connick, Edmonds, Fesi, Foil, Henry, Hensgens, Hodges, Jenkins, McMath, Miguez, Mizell, Selders, Stine, and Womack.

Changed the entity responsible for providing school mapping data from local school governing authorities to the Louisiana Center for Safe Schools, which will now coordinate with the State Board and Department of Education to deliver the data to law enforcement.

Added a new section establishing that charter schools are exempt from the school mapping data requirements unless their specific charter explicitly includes these provisions.

Updated the legislative purpose to include the enactment of a new section in R.S. 3996 regarding charter school exemptions.

Added a clause stating that the implementation of the act is subject to future appropriation of funds by the legislature.

Updated page numbering from 'Page 1 of 4' to 'Page 1 of 5' and reorganized the document structure to move the official title to the top and the digest to the bottom.
