House Committee Favorably Reported By Substitute
Summary
The bill requires every public and private elementary and secondary school in Georgia to install at least one exterior key box that meets UL 1037 standards, unless the school already has a documented rapid‑access program for first responders. The key box must be placed at a location chosen by the school board and contain keys or devices needed to open any locked door on the campus. Schools and local officials are granted civil immunity for the installation and use of the boxes, except in cases of gross negligence or bad faith.
