Florida H0671 mandates safety equipment and training for private and public schools.

Florida H0671 requires private and public schools to have breaching tools and ballistic shields on each campus for use in emergencies. The Department of Education, in coordination with the Department of Law Enforcement, sets minimum specifications for these tools. Schools must ensure at least one employee receives annual training on using the equipment, conducted with local law enforcement. Each school must report annually to the Office of Safe Schools that the equipment is present, functional, and accessible. The Office of Safe Schools may conduct random audits to verify compliance.
