SB 313 Ohio Senate · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Enact Alyssa's Law regarding school wearable panic alert systems

SB 313, titled "Alyssa's Law," mandates that public and chartered nonpublic schools implement wearable panic alert systems for all staff members. These devices must be able to connect with local emergency response infrastructure to transmit campus-wide lockdown notifications and allow for immediate contact with police. The bill also requires annual training for school personnel on using these devices and ensures that security data, such as camera feeds and maps, is accessible to local law enforcement while keeping specific security details confidential. Additionally, the legislation authorizes the Department of Education and Workforce to create rules necessary for protecting student and educator safety.
