Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Section 1. This Act may be referred to as Alyssa's Law.
Section 5. The School Safety Drill Act is amended by
adding Section 42 as follows:
(105 ILCS 128/42 new)
Sec. 42. Mobile panic alert system.
(a) By no later than the beginning of the 2028-2029 school
year, school districts and private schools in this State shall
consider the use of a mobile panic alert system in the
development of their school emergency and crisis response
plans. If used, a mobile panic alert system that meets the
specifications of this Section shall be known as "Alyssa's
Alert" and shall be capable of connecting to diverse emergency
service technologies to ensure real-time coordination between
multiple first responder agencies. It shall also be capable of
integrating with local, Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
infrastructure for the transmission of 9-1-1 calls and mobile
activations. Such PSAP infrastructure shall also be capable of
receiving mobile panic alert notifications from a range of
technologies. A mobile panic alert system deployed pursuant to
HB5107 Enrolled - 2 - LRB104 18528 LNS 31971 b
this Section shall be integrated with the PSAP serving the
applicable facility's jurisdiction and shall, upon activation,
transmit an alert that is delivered to the PSAP's existing
infrastructure. A mobile panic alert system deployed pursuant
to this Section shall undergo at least annual testing in
coordination with the PSAP and first responder agencies.
(b) By March 1, 2027, the Illinois State Police shall
develop rules for a mobile panic alert system to qualify as an
Alyssa's Alert and meet the specifications of this Section.
The rules may take into consideration the following:
(1) the scalability of the mobile panic alert system
in relation to the possibility of school expansion;
(2) the reliability of the connection technology used,
including the capability of transmission across both
Internet and cellular networks, and how that technology
impacts the response time for first responders and other
school personnel;
(3) the ease of integration of a mobile panic alert
system with existing safety systems, including, but not
limited to, the extent to which:
(A) reliable communication is ensured with the
PSAP and first responders;
(B) all applicable safety protocols operate in a
coordinated and interoperable manner; and
(C) existing PSAP infrastructure can receive
mobile panic alert notifications from diverse
HB5107 Enrolled - 3 - LRB104 18528 LNS 31971 b
technologies;
(4) the efficiency of providing instant alerts and
notifications to first responders and other school
personnel;
(5) testing, training, and drill requirements that
include the PSAP and first responders agencies; and
(6) the interoperability with crisis response mapping
or other situational awareness tools.
(c) The Illinois State Police shall post information on
the rules developed under subsection (b) on its Internet
website. Anything posted by the Illinois State Police under
this subsection shall also be posted by the State Board of
Education on its website.
(d) Each school district and private school must
coordinate with its local 9-1-1 authority for integration
requirements prior to purchase and implementation under this
Section. Any expense to the PSAP for connectivity must be
covered by the school district or private school.
