4 critical mapping data for school safety plans.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, as part of a school safety plan, public and private schools
must submit a copy of the most recent blueprints or mapping data for each school
building and facility to each local law enforcement agency with jurisdiction and to
the Office of School Safety in the Department of Justice. Also under current law, DOJ
awards grants to school boards and governing bodies of private schools to assist them
in complying with this requirement.
This bill uses the term “interactive critical mapping data” to describe the
mapping data and defines the term as interactive representations of a specific
location that are verifiable, digital, shareable, and shown in real time.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
5 SECTION 1. 118.07 (4) (cf) of the statutes is renumbered 118.07 (4) (cf) 2. and
