"Alyssa's Law"; enact to authorize implementation and installation of silent panic alarm systems in public and charter schools.

HB 1281, "Alyssa's Law," requires all Mississippi public and charter schools to install silent panic alarm systems by the 2025-2026 school year. The law mandates that schools provide wearable panic devices to all staff for immediate emergency contact with law enforcement, integrate systems with existing safety protocols, and establish memorandums of understanding with local police. It also exempts security data from public records disclosure while requiring annual compliance reports to the state education department. To support implementation, the bill creates a state grant program funded by annual legislative appropriations to help school districts cover costs.
