These amendments to the Omnibus School Safety Act changes the date that schools are to be in compliance with the Act to September 2014 instead of September 2017. In addition, the amendment changes the requirement of school districts to conduct full scale exercises annually and table top exercises bi-annually. The new language requires schools to conduct tabletop exercises every year and at least two lockdown/intruder drills per school year. Finally, schools are required to submit verification of the exercises to the Department of Homeland Security.
