Michigan HB4198 requires public and nonpublic schools to implement a mobile panic alert system starting in the 2025-2026 school year.

Michigan HB4198 amends the state school aid act to mandate that public and nonpublic schools implement a mobile panic alert system for use in school security emergencies. The system must connect local law enforcement and integrate with local public safety answering point infrastructure. Schools with existing systems meeting these requirements can petition for an exemption. Non-compliant schools are ineligible for state police school safety grants. The Department of Technology, Management, and Budget is tasked with procuring the system through competitive solicitation.
