"Alyssa's Law Pilot Program"; enact to authorize implementation and installation of silent panic alarm systems in select public and charter schools.
HB 1373, "Alyssa's Law Pilot Program," would have required selected Mississippi public and charter schools (one per Supreme Court district) to implement silent panic alarm systems by the 2026-2027 school year. The bill mandated wearable alert devices for all school staff, direct emergency alerts to law enforcement, system integration with existing safety protocols, and annual reporting to the state education department. It also established a state grant program to fund system installation and training, while exempting security data from public disclosure under certain conditions. The bill was introduced in 2026 but died in committee without becoming law.
