An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in school safety and security, providing for panic alerts.

This bill, known as "Alyssa's Law," requires every public school building in Pennsylvania to install a panic alert system designed for security emergencies like lockdowns or active shooter situations. The system must include a silent notification method, such as a panic button or mobile app, that immediately sends an alert directly to local law enforcement agencies designated as first responders. These requirements apply to all school facilities where students are present during the school day, and the law is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2024.
