Senate Bill 2691 Mandates Illinois College Emergency Plans
The Illinois Senate has approved a campus security bill that would require colleges and universities to develop and exercise emergency response plans and violence prevention programs. In particular, the bill would require all schools to develop an all-hazards emergency response plan in conjunction with state and local emergency management officials.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich supports the bill and says it will make college campuses safer.
Senate Bill 2691, which was approved by the Higher Education Committee and passed on Third Reading in the Senate on Thursday, May 8th, will now go before the House for further consideration. Story credits to www.stltoday.com.
