This bill authorizes the Department of Education to allocate funds for the creation of a database containing maps of public schools specifically for emergency use. The new legal language inserted into current law includes a provision that enhances public school emergency readiness through the implementation of critical incident mapping technology. This technology aims to provide emergency response personnel and internal teams with a unified understanding of site-specific nomenclature and other characteristics related to the building infrastructure and grounds.

The bill amends RSA 198:15-y, III by adding a new subparagraph (h) that focuses on improving emergency preparedness in public schools. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text. The act is set to take effect upon its passage, which is approved for April 22, 2026.
