The proposed bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by introducing a new article that mandates the installation of cameras in all school buildings. Specifically, it requires that cameras be placed in hallways, stairwells, classrooms, and any other areas where students are present, while explicitly excluding bathroom stalls, showers, and locker rooms to protect students' privacy during times of undress.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the recorded footage from these cameras must be maintained for a duration of one year. This legislation is intended to enhance safety and security within schools by ensuring that all areas frequented by students are monitored.
