Bill > SB1733

This bill, known as "Alyssa's Law," mandates that by the 2027-28 school year, all local educational agencies (LEAs), which are entities responsible for public schools, must implement a wearable panic alert system in every school facility. This system will allow staff to wear a device that can immediately contact local emergency response agencies, like 911, and initiate campus-wide emergency notifications, including lockdowns, with visual strobes, intercom announcements, and computer display alerts. Crucially, the system must provide precise location information within the school and on school grounds. Additionally, LEAs must ensure that the provider of this panic alert system offers, at no cost to the LEA, electronic emergency response maps to local first responders. These maps will be compatible with existing security software, oriented correctly, overlaid on floor plans, and include detailed site-specific information such as room labels, utility locations, and the placement of critical equipment like automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and emergency kits. The system will also allow for real-time updates to these maps, which will be automatically shared with emergency responders. All security data, including camera feeds and maps, must be accessible to local law enforcement, with established access protocols. While this security information is considered confidential and exempt from public disclosure, there are specific exceptions for sharing with property owners, other government agencies, or upon court order. The State Board of Education is authorized to create rules to implement these provisions.
