Section 1322-B. School mapping services.
(a) Contract requirements.--A contract funded in whole or in part with money appropriated by the Commonwealth and entered into between a school entity or nonpublic school and a provider of school mapping services shall comply with the following requirements:
(1) Maps must be in formats that integrate with and are viewable within software platforms used in Federal, State and municipal public safety agencies and law enforcement agencies that provide emergency services to the school entity or nonpublic school without requiring the purchase of additional software or payment of fees to access the data. Providers of school mapping services must provide the maps to authorized law enforcement and emergency responders at no cost, with authorization by the school entity or nonpublic school.
(2) Maps must be in formats capable of being printed, shared electronically and, if requested, digitally integrated into interactive mobile platforms in use.
(3) Maps must be viewable and printable from open-source document or image viewers.
(4) Maps must be oriented to true north and include a fixed grid with consistent "x" and "y" coordinates.
(5) Maps must have been produced from data verified for accuracy through an on-site walk-through of the school buildings and grounds depicted on the maps by the entity producing the data.
(6) Maps must include accurate floor plans overlaid on current, verified aerial imagery of the school campus.
(7) Maps and floor plans must include site-specific labeling for school structures, such as room names, and/or designated numbers, hallway designations, exterior door numbers, stairwell numbers and the locations of hazards, critical utility controls, chemical storage and labs, wood or metal working shops, key boxes, automated external defibrillators and trauma kits, and school grounds, including parking areas, equipment sheds, outbuildings, athletic fields, surrounding roads and neighboring properties.
(8) Maps must be created, stored and maintained exclusively within the United States for the entire duration of the mapping process and duration of the term of the contract to ensure security of the data. The provider shall maintain and store all mapping data securely and use appropriate security measures to reasonably protect the transmission of data. In the case of a breach of the security of the mapping data, the provider shall immediately notify the school entity or nonpublic school and any law enforcement agency that has been provided with access to or copies of the mapping data that was included in the data breach.
(b) Consultation and approval from law enforcement agencies.--A school entity subject to the requirements of section 1319-B shall consult and receive written approval from each law enforcement agency with whom the school entity has a signed memorandum of understanding, prior to entering into a contract for school mapping services to ensure that the data used under the contract complies with the requirements of this section. A nonpublic school or any other school entity not subject to section 1319-B shall consult and receive written approval from the law enforcement agency with primary jurisdiction over the school to meet the requirements of this section.
(c) Confidentiality.--Maps of school entities and nonpublic schools and the data used to develop the maps, the disclosure of which would be reasonably likely to result in a substantial and demonstrable risk of physical harm or the personal security of students or staff, shall remain confidential and are not public records subject to inspection and duplication under the act of February 14, 2008 (P.L.6, No.3), known as the Right-to-Know Law.
(d) Applicability.--This section shall apply to contracts entered into on or after the effective date of this subsection.
