The bill, known as Alyssa's Law, aims to establish a pilot grant program for public and chartered nonpublic schools in Ohio to acquire panic alert systems or contract for artificial intelligence firearm detection software. The Department of Public Safety will distribute grants starting January 1, 2026, with a total appropriation of $25 million from the General Revenue Fund. The program will require schools to meet specific criteria, such as not having an existing security system and ensuring that any purchased systems or software meet stringent operational and safety standards.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for schools to implement the panic alert systems effectively, including staff training and coordination with local law enforcement. Schools that receive grants must use the funds to purchase approved systems or software, which must be designated as qualified anti-terrorism technology. A report detailing the program's findings, including data on applications, grants awarded, and outcomes, is to be submitted to the Governor and the General Assembly by December 1, 2027.
