Alyssa's Law Passes Oregon House
(Salem, OR) -- Oregon public schools would have to consider installing a panic alarm system under a bill that unanimously passed the state House. Alyssa's Law is named after Alyssa Alhadeff, a student who was killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2017. Schools that have installed these systems find that about 80 percent of the alerts are for medical purposes. In 2023, the Oregon Legislature approved two-and-a-half million dollars to help pay for the systems. The bill now moves to the Senate.
