GA SB17

All public and private schools in Georgia must implement a mobile panic alert system called "Alyssa's Alert" by July 1, 2026, capable of connecting emergency services technologies for real-time coordination between state and local first responders during school security emergencies

Schools must procure school mapping data by July 1, 2026, including building floor plans, aerial imagery, labeled access points, utility locations, AED and trauma kit locations, and surrounding areas like parking lots and athletic fields

School mapping data must be verified annually through in-person inspections and formatted to integrate with public safety answering points without requiring agencies to purchase additional software

Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency is authorized to develop rules for school mapping data standards, encryption, and secure transmission to law enforcement and first responders

Schools with existing panic alert systems meeting the requirements by July 1, 2026 are exempt from procuring new systems, and local boards of education, schools, and government entities receive civil liability immunity for creation and use of mapping data
