HB 1472 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Enacts provisions governing panic-alert technology in schools

HB 1472 requires all public school districts and charter schools to provide every classroom employee with mobile panic-alert devices enabling immediate two-way communication with local emergency services, law enforcement, fire departments, and school administration. The bill mandates annual training for all school employees on using the technology before the start of each school year. It directly affects teachers, staff, and school administrators by establishing a standardized safety protocol for emergency response within school facilities. The key provision is the requirement for real-time, two-way communication tools to streamline emergency coordination during critical incidents.
