This bill mandates collaboration between the Office of Educational Facilities and the Office of Safe Schools within the Department of Education, along with various stakeholders, to review the State Requirements for Educational Facilities. The collaboration will involve at least one state university with expertise in educational facility design, district facilities directors, representatives from the Florida Building Commission, and law enforcement officials. The review aims to enhance teacher and student safety and accountability through improvements in the physical plant of schools. Specific areas of focus include recommended changes in construction and renovations to mitigate misconduct, as well as configurations of the physical plant to ensure observable interactions between students and adults.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the review must not conflict with existing physical plant hardening requirements for school safety, which are designed to create a secure environment against threats. Recommendations from this review will be submitted to the Department of Education, which will then relay them to the Florida Building Commission and other relevant parties as part of its biennial review. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
