What it requires

Status & deadlines
Bills in committee. Separately, behavioral threat assessment teams are required by Oct 1, 2026, and standardized emergency terminology takes effect in 2026–27.
Funding to know about
Section 31aa provides roughly $310M in FY2026–27 for school safety and mental health, allocated per pupil. Recent state guidance has allowed cameras, firearm-detection software, door hardware, and emergency response systems.
