Alyssa's Law in Oregon: Law Enacted
Oregon enacted HB 3083 in 2025, requiring each school's governing body, public or private, to consider installing a wireless or wearable panic alarm system that connects to 911 when it reviews building security policies. It does not require installation. The Oregon Wireless Panic Alarm Grant provides up to $2,000 per school to offset implementation costs.

Alyssa's Law has been enacted in Oregon. It requires school safety planning to consider a panic alert system; it does not require schools to install one. The summary above sets out what the law says, including when it takes effect.
Federal funding through the STOP School Violence Act (SVPP) and Title IV-A specifically covers panic alert technology. Many Oregon districts have funded full deployments through these programs with no out-of-pocket cost to the district.
Best Practice Standards
Silent panic alarms accessible to all staff — best practice regardless of mandate
Direct law enforcement notification — not routed through front office or monitoring center
Precise location data for first responders — reduces response time
Federal grant-eligible: STOP School Violence Act + Title IV-A
How Positive Proof Satisfies Alyssa's Law Requirements
Positive Proof's panic button solution is designed to meet Alyssa's Law requirements in all enacted states — with implementation support and compliance documentation included.
Wearable Hardware Activation
Every staff member wears a panic device — badge clip or fob. A single 2-second press triggers the full emergency response sequence in under two seconds. No phone call, no unlocking, no speaking required.
What “Directly Linked” Actually Means
Where a state's Alyssa's Law requires alerts to reach local law enforcement directly, the signal goes to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) or law enforcement radio, not to a school administrator or third-party monitoring center first. Positive Proof delivers direct-to-PSAP dispatch with precise location data, meeting this requirement in every enacted state.
Compliance Documentation
Every alert, drill, and test is automatically logged with timestamp and location data. Positive Proof generates state-specific compliance documentation for district reporting and grant applications — no manual recordkeeping required.
