VA HB592

Authorizes Virginia school boards to provide employees in public elementary and secondary school buildings with wearable panic alarm systems

Defines "wearable panic alarm system" as a body-worn device that when manually activated sends a signal to the local 911 public safety answering point and triggers a multisensory schoolwide emergency notification

Covers school security emergencies including non-fire evacuations, lockdowns, medical emergencies, and active shooter situations

Adds new section 22.1-79.4:1 to the Code of Virginia, making this a permissive rather than mandatory program for school boards
