FL S0070

Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, each public school including charter schools must implement a mobile panic alert system called "Alyssa's Alert" that integrates with local 911 systems and coordinates among multiple first responder agencies.

Public school districts may implement additional emergency coordination strategies or systems beyond the required mobile panic alert system for school security emergencies.

For fiscal year 2020-2021, the Department of Education must issue a competitive solicitation to contract for a mobile panic alert system available to school districts, subject to appropriation.

The Department of Education shall consult with the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission, the Department of Law Enforcement, and the Division of Emergency Management when developing the competitive solicitation.

The act takes effect July 1, 2020 and may be cited as "Alyssa's Law."
