The "School Safety and Security Act"; establishes penalties for certain criminal acts committed on school property.

The School Safety and Security Act (A172) creates fourth-degree criminal penalties for specific actions that threaten school safety, including entering school property after being prohibited, providing false identification, tampering with security devices, falsely triggering emergency protocols, or leaking school safety plans without permission. It also criminalizes interfering with school bus operations or entering occupied school buses without consent. These provisions apply to anyone on school property (e.g., visitors, students, or others), but exclude law enforcement, emergency responders, and news coverage during emergencies. The bill aims to protect school safety by addressing targeted behaviors that could disrupt operations or trigger unnecessary emergency responses.
