The proposed bill establishes a new section, 784.072, in the Florida Statutes, which outlines the procedures for activating emergency alerts, specifically the "Ya Ya Alert" and "Imminent Threat Alert." Local law enforcement agencies are required to activate the emergency alert system and issue a Ya Ya Alert to public and private schools and child care facilities within a three-mile radius of an incident that poses an imminent threat to public safety, such as a violent crime. The bill mandates that these agencies maintain a list of schools and facilities in their jurisdiction and provides immunity from civil liability for those who comply in good faith with the alert provisions.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Department of Law Enforcement, in collaboration with other departments, must issue an Imminent Threat Alert when requested by local law enforcement under similar circumstances. The alerts must include detailed descriptions of suspects and their vehicles to aid in public safety. The bill also includes provisions for civil liability immunity for various entities involved in disseminating the alerts, ensuring that they are presumed to have acted in good faith, even in cases of technical errors. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
