An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in school safety and security, providing for purchase of firearm detection technology.

HB 2206 allows Pennsylvania public schools (and likely private/parochial schools under the Public School Code) to purchase firearm detection technology with state approval. The bill requires this technology to automatically monitor school cameras/drones for firearms, instantly alert staff or first responders upon detection, meet federal anti-terrorism tech standards, and be U.S.-developed without third-party data. Schools must manage the system through a vendor-operated center staffed by trained analysts who monitor feeds continuously. This policy change directly enables schools to implement specific security measures, effective 60 days after enactment.
