By July 1, 2028, all Minnesota elementary, middle, and secondary schools must either use the Department of Public Safety's statewide anonymous threat reporting system or implement their own local system meeting specified requirements

Local anonymous reporting systems must provide 24/7 reporting via mobile app and multilingual crisis center, staff crisis centers with trained counselors, coordinate responses with schools and law enforcement, and implement evidence-based student violence prevention training

Schools using local systems must form a school-based team of at least three employees by September 1, 2026, and report the primary contact to the Department of Education

Schools not implementing their own system must post information about the state's threat reporting system on their website, include it in student handbooks, and notify parents annually

The Commissioner of Education must submit annual reports to the legislature beginning December 15, 2028, detailing the number and types of reports received, reporting methods used, and false report counts by school site
