A bill named in honor of one of the victims of the Parkland shooting is now law.
Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation called “Alyssa’s Law” that requires New Jersey public schools to install silent panic alarms that can be activated in case of an active-shooter situation.
The law is named for Alyssa Alhadeff, a former Woodcliff Lake resident who was among the 17 people killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last February.
