Schools; creating Alyssa's Law; requiring implementation of mobile panic alert systems; establishing minimum criteria for systems; School Security Revolving Fund; expanding authorization for expenditure; effective date; emergency.
This bill, known as Alyssa's Law, requires every school district in Oklahoma to install a panic alert system by the start of the 2024-2025 school year. The law mandates that these systems connect directly to emergency services to allow real-time coordination and automatically send critical information, such as floor plans and caller locations, to first responders during an incident. To ensure consistency, the state education department will publish a list of approved systems that meet specific safety criteria for alerting staff and integrating with public safety infrastructure. The legislation authorizes the use of existing public school funds to cover the cost of implementing these security measures and takes effect immediately upon signing.
