Senate Bill 7048, also known as House Bill 7092, aims to enhance school safety in Tennessee by amending existing laws related to school safety teams and their collaboration with local law enforcement. The bill adds "local law enforcement officials" to the list of entities that school safety plans must include, thereby emphasizing the importance of collaboration between schools and law enforcement in ensuring student safety.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for school safety teams by mandating that both district-wide and building-level safety teams conduct an annual review of their respective safety plans. This change is intended to ensure that safety protocols are regularly assessed and updated as necessary to address evolving safety concerns. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the urgency of improving school safety measures.
