Bill > SB353

This bill, known as Alyssa's Law, mandates that by October 1, 2030, all public K-12 schools in Alabama must equip designated employees with a mobile emergency rapid response system, which is a wearable or personally possessed device that immediately connects to the local emergency services and provides precise location information within the school facility and grounds. The State Superintendent of Education will be responsible for creating a list of approved vendors for these systems, and school governing bodies, such as local school boards and public charter schools, will be required to adopt policies on which employees receive these devices and when they must be used, along with providing regular training. To fund these requirements, schools can utilize various sources, including the K-12 Capital Grant Program, the Education Trust Fund Advancement and Technology Fund, the School Security and Fire Safety Fund, or any other available funds.
