Panelists tell senators interoperable school maps would speed emergency response but vendors, districts ask for stakeholder input
Summary
SB 6,042 would require safe school plans to include interoperable digital maps for first responders and exempt mapping data from public disclosure; school boards, law‑enforcement and mapping vendors told the committee that standards, accuracy and integration matter, and some asked for stakeholder‑driven technical refinements.
