AI Summary
- Creates s. 943.45, F.S., requiring the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) to develop and implement a statewide active shooter alert system, with the executive director serving as statewide coordinator
- Activation requires that a law enforcement agency believes an active shooter is in its jurisdiction, determines an alert would assist nearby individuals, verifies the situation through preliminary investigation, and provides the shooter's last known location and identifiable information
- Directs FDLE to recruit TV and radio broadcasters, mobile telephone service providers (via the federal Wireless Emergency Alert system), private commercial entities, and government agencies as participants
- Requires the Department of Transportation to establish a plan for displaying alert information on dynamic message signs within 50 miles of an active shooter, unless the Federal Highway Administration determines such use would jeopardize federal highway funding
- Neither FDLE nor any law enforcement agency may be held liable for failure to activate the alert system; effective date is July 1, 2022
