Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill requires a school comprehensive health and safety and emergency management plan approved by a school board to meet nationally recognized practices.  These plans were identified as a potential unfunded state mandate in Public Law 2021, chapter 464.  As no definition of nationally recognized practices is provided in this bill, it is unclear whether additional costs will be imposed on local school administrative units.
