School and Child Care Facility Emergency Alerts

Summary

The bill would have local law enforcement activate the emergency alert system and issue a “Ya Ya Alert” to public and private schools and child‑care facilities within three miles of an incident where a suspect who has killed, seriously injured, or used a deadly weapon has fled and is deemed an imminent threat. It also creates an “Imminent Threat Alert” for the general public, with detailed suspect information, and gives agencies immunity from civil suits when they act in good faith. The measure failed, dying in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee.
