To amend chapter 160, RSMo, by adding thereto two new sections relating to school safety.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 160, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto 1
two new sections, to be known as sections 160.666 and 160.667, 2
to read as follows:3
160.666. 1. This section and section 160.667 shall be 1
known and may be cited as "Alyssa's Law". 2
2. Beginning with the 2027-28 school year and 3
continuing in all subsequent school years, each local 4
educational agency shall implement a wearable panic alert 5
system at each school facility capable of integrating with 6
local public safety answering point infrastructure to 7
transmit 911 calls or mobile activations. 8
3. In accordance with the emergency operations plan 9
developed under section 160.480, a local educational agency 10
shall provide each staff person with a wearable panic alert 11
device to communicate throughout each school campus that 12
allows for immediate contact with local emergency response 13
agencies. 14
4. The wearable panic alert system shall be capable of 15
initiating a campus-wide emergency notification, such as a 16
lockdown. Notifications shall include automated visual 17
strobes whose colors map to the emergency protocol; an 18
SB 1733 2
automated, direct connection to the intercom or public 19
announcement (PA) infrastructure in place that maps to the 20
emergency protocol; and an automated computer display 21
takeover message that maps to the emergency protocol. 22
5. Upon activation of an alert, the wearable panic 23
alert system shall provide accurate location information at 24
the room and floor level inside the facility and specific 25
areas such as parking lots, playgrounds, athletic fields, 26
and similar areas that are part of the school grounds. 27
6. A local educational agency shall ensure, before the 28
school year begins, all school building personnel receive 29
training on the emergency protocols and appropriate use of 30
the panic alert device described in subsection 3 of this 31
section. 32
160.667. 1. A local educational agency shall ensure, 1
before the school year begins, that emergency response 2
mapping is made available by the provider of the wearable 3
panic alert system required pursuant to section 160.666, at 4
no cost to the local educational agency, to local first 5
responder agencies, in an electronic or digital format, to 6
assist first responders in responding to emergencies at 7
schools. Emergency response maps shall: 8
(1) Be compatible with security software platforms in 9
use by the specific school for which the data is provided 10
without requiring the local law enforcement agencies or 11
school districts to purchase additional software or 12
requiring the integration of third-party software to view 13
the data; 14
(2) Be oriented true north; 15
(3) Be overlaid on school floor plans; 16

SB 1733 3
hallway names, and external door or stairwell numbers and 19
locations of critical utility feeds, emergency equipment 20
such as automated external defibrillators (AEDs), trauma 21
kits, and NARCAN kits; 22
(5) Be capable of creating and managing electronic 23
asset tags that allow the local educational agency to know 24
the unique identifier of the devices such as the serial 25
number, last inspection date, battery replacement date such 26
as battery replacement date for the AED, expiration date 27
such as the NARCAN kit expiration date, and other 28
information pertinent to the appropriate operation of the 29
asset; 30
(6) Have the ability to provide real time updates by 31
building owners with role-based logins to the emergency 32
response maps, where changes are automatically disseminated 33
to emergency responders and 911 mapping applications using 34
existing data in order to ensure the most up-to-date 35
information. Updates shall include changes to the physical 36
structure such as walls, doors, and mobile classrooms, along 37
with changes to the asset tags; and 38
(7) Have ownership retained by the local educational 39
agency with full rights to copy, display, distribute, 40
transmit, and adapt for all lawful purposes, including 41
sharing with government or private entities that are 42
providing or supporting emergency services. 43
2. A local educational agency shall: 44
(1) Ensure all security data, including data from all 45
cameras, maps, and access control within a school building, 46
are accessible by a local law enforcement agency; and 47
(2) Coordinate with a local law enforcement agency to 48
establish appropriate access protocols. 49
SB 1733 4
3. Any records, information, photographs, audio and 50
visual presentations, schematic diagrams, surveys, 51
recommendations, or consultations, or portions thereof, 52
relating directly to the physical security or fire safety of 53
the school facility or revealing security or fire safety 54
systems held by a local educational agency are confidential 55
and exempt from public disclosure under chapter 610. 56

public disclosure under subsection 3 of this section may be 58

agency's leaseholder; 61
(2) In furtherance of the official duties and 62
responsibilities of the agency holding the information; 63
(3) To another local, state, or federal agency in 64
furtherance of that agency's official duties and 65
responsibilities; or 66
(4) Upon a showing of good cause before a court of 67
competent jurisdiction. 68
5. The state board of education may promulgate rules 69
to implement this section as are necessary to protect the 70
health and safety of students and educators. Any rule or 71
portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 72
536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in 73
this section shall become effective only if it complies with 74
and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, 75
if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 76
536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with 77
the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to 78
delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule 79
are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of 80
SB 1733 5
rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after 81
August 28, 2026, shall be invalid and void. 82
