School mapping contracts using state money would require accurate, accessible maps

School districts would have to use mapping contracts that meet access and accuracy rules when state money pays any part. Maps would need an on-site accuracy check, floor plans over current aerial images, and labels for rooms, hazards, and emergency equipment. Vendors would provide maps free to authorized law enforcement and emergency responders. Maps would work with emergency agencies’ existing software without extra software purchases or access fees. The requirements would take effect 60 days after enactment.

School districts would have to consult their primary law enforcement agency and obtain its written approval before signing a mapping contract. This approval requirement would cover school district mapping contracts regardless of how they are funded. The approval would check that the contract’s map data meets the section’s requirements. The requirement would take effect 60 days after enactment.

Vendors would have to create, store, and maintain covered school maps entirely within the United States. This rule would cover school district mapping contracts paid partly or fully with state money. The restriction would apply throughout the mapping process and the full contract term. The requirement would take effect 60 days after enactment.
