SB 1798: school safety; identification system; appropriation

SB 1798 establishes a two-year pilot program for Arizona school districts with 80-85 schools (covering kindergarten through 12th grade) to install camera-based safety systems that detect registered sex offenders, individuals with criminal records, or "individuals of concern" designated by schools or law enforcement. The system must issue alerts within 60 seconds after analyst review, while strictly prohibiting the storage of video, audio, biometric data, or live monitoring to comply with privacy laws. The bill appropriates $2 million from the state general fund for this program, which expires December 31, 2027, and requires a report on implementation to state leaders.
