Relating to measures to ensure the safety of individuals with disabilities during an emergency situation at public postsecondary institutions.
SB 752 requires public Texas colleges and universities to create emergency plans that specifically address the safety needs of students, staff, and guests with disabilities during crises. The bill mandates institutions to implement evacuation assistance devices in all multi-story campus buildings and develop plans accommodating different disabilities, including access to evacuation devices. It also directs the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to establish rules for these emergency plans, consulting disability advocacy groups during the process. These requirements apply to all public postsecondary institutions in Texas and aim to ensure equal access to safety during emergencies.
