HB 2394 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Requiring teachers to wear a “mobile alert button” for emergency situations, to be known as “Alyssa’s Law.”

HB 2394 requires all West Virginia public schools to implement a wearable panic alert system ("Alyssa's Law") by December 31, 2025. It mandates that each school staff member receive a device capable of instantly contacting emergency services and triggering campus-wide lockdowns through integration with 9-1-1 systems. County school boards must provide the devices, ensure annual staff training on their use, and share security data (like cameras and maps) with local law enforcement. The bill directly affects all school staff in West Virginia public schools and focuses on immediate emergency response capabilities.
