What Alyssa's Law — Oregon (HB 3083) Requires
Oregon's Alyssa's Law, House Bill 3083, was signed into law by Governor Tina Kotek on May 28, 2025 after passing the Oregon House unanimously by a 50-0 vote. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Emerson Levy (D-Central Oregon), amends ORS 336.071 by directing school governing bodies to consider the installation of panic alarm systems in Oregon public schools. Like its counterparts in New Jersey, New York, and other states, Oregon's version is named in honor of Alyssa Alhadeff, a victim of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
HB 3083 directs school districts to evaluate and implement panic alarm technology capable of connecting to diverse emergency services technologies, ensuring real-time coordination between multiple emergency services agencies. Compliant systems must enable users to initiate an alert via a wearable badge, mobile panic application, or any web-enabled device. Funding flows through the Oregon Department of Education's School Safety and Emergency Management (SSEM) program, with school districts reimbursed up to $2,000 per school. The Oregon Legislature has allocated $2.5 million in funding to support panic alarm implementation across the state.
Who Must Comply
HB 3083 applies to public school districts in Oregon, covering K-12 school buildings including elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. Public charter schools operating within the state's charter framework are included. School district boards, superintendents, and building-level administrators share responsibility for evaluation and implementation. The Oregon Department of Education establishes implementation timelines, provides technical standards, and coordinates with the Oregon State Police and local law enforcement agencies to ensure emergency response integration.
How IntelliSee Supports Compliance
IntelliSee provides Oregon schools with a proactive AI detection capability that significantly enhances the protective value of the panic alarm systems contemplated under HB 3083. The platform's AI gun detection technology continuously monitors existing security cameras and identifies visible firearms automatically — alerting school officials and law enforcement within seconds, without waiting for someone to manually trigger a panic alarm.
This autonomous detection addresses a fundamental limitation of panic-button-only systems: they require a human to see the threat, recognize the danger, and physically reach and activate the alarm. In the critical first moments of a school emergency, IntelliSee's AI acts as an additional layer of vigilance that never takes a break, never looks away, and responds in real time.
IntelliSee works with the security cameras schools already have installed, requires no facial recognition, and respects student privacy. For Oregon's rural school districts — where law enforcement response times may be longer — IntelliSee's early detection capability is especially valuable, providing the maximum possible warning time to initiate lockdown procedures and dispatch first responders.
