Illinois SB2948 mandates mobile panic alert systems for schools and creates a grant fund for their implementation.
SB2948 requires school districts and private schools in Illinois to consider using mobile panic alert systems, named "Alyssa's Alert," in their emergency response plans. The systems must connect to emergency service technologies for real-time coordination and integrate with local public-safety infrastructures. The State Board of Education will develop standards for these systems, considering scalability, technology reliability, ease of use, and efficiency. A Mobile Panic Alert System Grant Fund is established for grants to help schools obtain these systems.
