SB 1830 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

turquoise alert; runaways

SB 1830 establishes Arizona's "turquoise alert" system to quickly notify the public about missing persons under age 65 who are in danger. It requires law enforcement to exhaust local resources and confirm the person is a runaway (especially children), kidnapped, or missing under suspicious circumstances before activating the alert. The system issues public alerts through the emergency alert system when specific recovery information is available, and mandates that the department share alerts with other state notification services. This directly affects law enforcement agencies, the public, and missing persons under 65, particularly children and those at risk. The bill does not change existing Amber Alert protocols but creates a new, separate alert category for runaways and vulnerable missing persons.
