The proposed bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by introducing a new article, designated as 18-36-1, which mandates the installation of cameras in various areas of schools where students are present. Specifically, it requires that cameras be placed in hallways, stairwells, classrooms, and other rooms, 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. The overall intent of the legislation is to enhance safety and security within school environments by ensuring that surveillance is present in areas frequented by students.
