Section 19:32A-2.2 - Demonstrating school district compliance with Alyssa's Law

(a) In order for a school district to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Alyssa's Law, it must submit, to the Authority, proof that each school building in the district is equipped with a silent panic alarm that, upon activation, transmits a signal or message to the local municipal police department, or in the case of a school facility in a municipality without a local municipal police department, transmits a signal or message to a location designated by the Superintendent of the State Police. Such proof shall be provided for each school building in the school district, in the form of a certification of a law enforcement official with jurisdiction in the municipality in which the school building is located.

(b) A district may demonstrate that a school building is compliant with Alyssa's Law, as an alternative to (a) above, if such school building is equipped with an alternative emergency mechanism that is approved by the Department.

(c) If a school district cannot demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Alyssa's Law with respect to one or more of the school buildings located in the school district, then the school district must install a panic alarm or an approved alternative emergency mechanism in such non-compliant school building and can apply to the Commissioner for a grant covering the costs of such proposed installation, pursuant to the procedures specified at N.J.A.C. 6A:26A-4.
