School security systems rulemaking required in State Fire Code.
This bill requires the Minnesota commissioner to create rules mandating that schools implement comprehensive, multilayered security systems to protect students from armed attacks. The law directs that specific security measures be finalized through a rulemaking process and may include bullet-resistant doors and windows, ballistic wall panels, remote lock-down systems, unified emergency communication networks, and access control systems for first responders. Schools would also need classroom duress alarms, staff training on emergency protocols, and secure electronic access controls for building entrances and distribution rooms. The bill directly affects school districts and the Minnesota commissioner responsible for state fire code regulations.
