WV HB3166

County boards of education must create standardized school safety mapping data that integrates with software used by local public safety answering points and emergency response agencies without requiring additional software purchases or fees

Mapping data must include accurate floor plans overlaid on aerial imagery, oriented to true north with fixed grid coordinates, and labeled with room names, hallway designations, exterior doors, hazard locations, utility controls, AED locations, and trauma kit positions

All mapping data must be created, stored, and maintained exclusively within the United States and verified through on-site walk-throughs of school buildings and grounds

School districts must consult with and receive approval from primary law enforcement agencies before procurement, and provide completed maps at no additional cost to state board of education, Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, and local first responders

County boards may receive up to $4,500 per school for mapping costs; requirements take effect September 1, 2026, and all mapping data is exempt from Freedom of Information Act disclosure
