Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey public schools – including school districts and charter/renaissance schools – to install exterior key boxes that meet specific security standards, such as Underwriters Laboratories Standard 1037. It aims to improve emergency access for law enforcement, fire, and medical personnel. The state will cover the costs of installation, and schools can apply for exemptions if they have alternative access plans approved by the Commissioner of Education.
