Utah Takes Action: Understanding H.B. 84 and HB0084S05 for Alyssa's Law
In a significant move for public safety, Utah has officially passed Bill H.B. 84 and its substitute HB0084S05, enacting Alyssa's Law within the state. This legislation, named in memory of Alyssa Alhadeff, a victim of the tragic Parkland school shooting, mandates the installation of silent panic alarm systems in public schools to enable immediate notification to law enforcement during an emergency. While focused on educational facilities, this legislative trend has profound implications for the broader property management and commercial real estate industry, highlighting a growing national prioritization of integrated security solutions.
At Jet Tech Solutions, with over 25 years of industry expertise, we understand that safety and security are foundational to property value, risk mitigation, and occupant satisfaction. The technology required to comply with such laws—often involving low-voltage cabling, networked panic buttons, and integration with existing security and communication systems like PBX and CCTV—is squarely within our wheelhouse. Utah's action is not an isolated event; it is part of a powerful nationwide movement.
A National Movement: Alyssa's Law Legislation Pending Across the U.S.
The push for enhanced emergency response capabilities is gaining momentum from coast to coast. Property owners and managers should be aware of similar pending legislation in other states, as these laws often set a precedent that can expand to include other types of public accommodations and multi-tenant buildings.
- Illinois: Pending Bills HB 5923 and HB 1072 for Alyssa's Law are currently under consideration, focusing on equipping schools with modern panic alarm systems.
- Kentucky: Pending Bill HB 14 for Alyssa's Law aims to establish the same critical infrastructure in its educational institutions.
- Virginia: Lawmakers are evaluating pending Bills HB1125 and HB1046 for Alyssa's Law, further emphasizing the national demand for rapid emergency notification technology.
This legislative landscape signals a clear shift toward mandating robust, reliable, and instantaneous communication systems in buildings where people gather. Proactive property professionals are already looking beyond the minimum requirements to implement systems that not only ensure compliance but also provide a superior layer of protection for tenants, guests, and assets.
