Plain-language change summary

The changes to SB 275 add State Fire Marshals to the list of officials who will receive important information related to school safety. This means that in addition to local law enforcement and first responders, fire marshals will also have access to updated school floor plans, which can help them respond more effectively in emergencies. This is significant because it enhances the preparedness and safety of schools by ensuring that all relevant personnel have the necessary information during a crisis.
