BRIEF RATIONALE
Public Act 45 of 2020 amended Public Act 306 of 1937, which governs the construction,
reconstruction, and remodeling of school buildings, to allow temporary door locking devices
or systems to be installed in school buildings. According to testimony, child care organizations
are not included in this regulation and are still prohibited from installing these devices under
current statute. Some have argued that child care organizations and day care centers should
be allowed to use these devices to prevent harm to children in violent emergency situations.

additional administrative costs and would likely be minimal.
