Alyssa's Law, Florida School Panic Alert Bill, Heads To Governor’s Desk
Alyssa’s Law, the Florida bill that requires all schools to have panic alarms is headed to Governor Ron DeSantis’ desk after the Florida Legislature passed the bill earlier this week, says a news report.
The HB 23/SB 70, “Alyssa’s Law” would require each public school to implement a mobile panic alert system for specified purposes beginning in a specified school year; authorize public school districts to implement additional strategies and systems for specified purposes; require the Department of Education to issue a competitive solicitation to contract for a mobile panic alert system.
The bill is named for 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, who was murdered during the Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.
