The 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," in response to imminent threats to public safety, particularly in relation to schools and child care facilities. Local law enforcement agencies are required to issue a Ya Ya Alert to all public and private schools and child care facilities within a three-mile radius of an incident where an imminent threat is identified, such as a suspect fleeing the scene of a violent crime. Additionally, these agencies must maintain a list of schools and facilities within their jurisdiction to ensure effective communication during such emergencies.

The bill also provides immunity from civil liability for individuals and entities that comply in good faith with the alert procedures, including local law enforcement and media representatives. The Department of Law Enforcement is tasked with issuing an Imminent Threat Alert when requested by local law enforcement, detailing the nature of the threat and any relevant information to assist in public safety. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
