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

HB 1549, "Alyssa's Law," requires all public and charter schools in Mississippi to install silent panic alarm systems by the 2025-2026 school year. The bill mandates that schools provide staff with wearable alert devices to immediately contact law enforcement during emergencies and establish coordination protocols with local police. It also creates a state grant program to help school districts cover costs, requires annual reporting on system use and compliance, and protects school security data from public disclosure under certain conditions. The law directly affects every public and charter school in Mississippi, focusing on enhancing emergency response capabilities through technology and training.
