provided in an electronic or a digital format to assist first responders in responding
to emergencies at schools.
(a)The General Assembly does hereby establish the School Mapping Data
Program to be administered by the Center for School Safety. The Center for
School Safety shall utilize available funds to develop school mapping data for
each public school, public charter school, and any private school that requests
to participate in the program. The program shall be administered by the
Center for School Safety pursuant to this section, which may include
contracting for services pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Kentucky
Model Procurement Code in KRS Chapter 45A. The Center for School Safety
shall be responsible for ensuring that all funds received for and expended
related to the School Mapping Data Program are utilized for the purposes of
school mapping.
(b)The Center for School Safety shall provide the data developed by the program
to the state school security marshal, participating schools, participating
districts, and local law enforcement and public safety agencies for use in

of KRS 61.870 to 61.884.
(c)The Center for School Safety shall apply for any federal grant funds that may
be used to accomplish the purposes of the program. The Center for School
Safety may also solicit private funds to support the program.

emergency on a school campus. The school mapping data provided shall:
(a)Be compatible with software platforms used by local, county, state, and
federal public safety agencies that provide emergency services to the specific
school for which the data is provided without requiring such agencies to
purchase additional software or requiring a fee to view or access the data;
(b)Be compatible with security software platforms in use by the participating
school or district for which the data is provided without requiring the school
or district to purchase additional software or requiring a fee to view or access
the data;
(c)Be in a printable format and, if requested by a law enforcement or public
safety agency or participating school or district in addition to those described
in paragraph
(a)of this subsection, be in a digital file format that can be
integrated into interactive mobile platforms in use;

(j)Not be modified or updated independently without corresponding updates to
school mapping data within software platforms used by local, county, state,
and federal public safety agencies that provide emergency services to the
specific school; and
(k)Provide to public safety agencies and participating schools or districts the
school mapping data developed pursuant to the program perpetually and at no
cost to the public safety agencies or participating schools or districts.
(4)A participating school district or campus shall not be required to adopt new school
mapping data if, as of July 1, 2024, the school district or campus previously
implemented school mapping data with capabilities that meet the requirements of
subsection (3)(a) to
