AN ACT CONCERNING THE USE OF WIRELESS SIGNALS TO SUMMON LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES TO SCHOOLS.
SB 846 requires teachers, school administrators, and similar school employees to carry a device that sends an immediate wireless signal to summon law enforcement to their school during emergencies. The bill mandates that this device must be pressable to trigger a real-time alert to police or relevant authorities. It directly affects school staff who would need to carry and use this device during incidents. The law aims to expedite police response times at schools but does not specify additional requirements for law enforcement or define "emergency" scenarios.
