Regulation of Fire and Other Hazards; use of temporary door locking devices in public buildings during certain emergency situations; authorize

Summary

The bill lets public buildings use removable door‑locking devices during active‑threat events such as lockdowns, provided they meet safety standards and are approved by fire officials when used on exits. It also permits every public and private K‑12 school to mount a UL‑rated exterior key box so law‑enforcement can quickly reach the building. Both measures include training, policy requirements and civil‑liability immunity for the entities that install them.
