 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to requiring panic alarm
 systems in schools

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as "Alyssa's Law".
 2 § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 409-o to
 3 read as follows:
 4 § 409-o. Installation of panic alarm systems in schools. 1. As used in
 5 this section, "panic alarm system" means a silent security system signal
 6 generated by the manual activation of a device intended to signal a
 7 life-threatening or emergency situation requiring a response from law
 8 enforcement. Such silent security system may include one or more of the
 9 following: wired panic button or buttons, wireless panic button or
 10 buttons or a mobile or computer application.
 11 2. Each public elementary and secondary school building shall be
 12 equipped with a panic alarm system for use in a school security emergen-
 13 cy including, but not limited to, a non-fire evacuation, lockdown, or
 14 active shooter situation. The alarm shall be directly linked to local
 15 law enforcement authorities or, in the case of a school building located
 16 in a municipality in which there is no municipal police department, a
 17 location designated by the superintendent of state police, and shall
 18 immediately transmit a signal or message to such authorities upon acti-
 19 vation. The alarm shall not be audible within the school building.
 20 3. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a school
 21 district to alter or install any components of a panic alarm system if
 22 such school district has a panic alarm system activated that complies
 23 with the requirements of this section.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 2 alarm system as required by this section shall be eligible for building
 3 aid reimbursement pursuant to subdivision six-c of section three thou-
 4 sand six hundred two of this chapter.
 5 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however that
 6 within one year of the effective date of this act, all school districts
 7 shall be in compliance with the provisions of this act. Effective imme-
 8 diately, the addition, amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation
 9 necessary for the implementation of this act on its effective date are
 10 authorized to be made and completed on or before such effective date.
