An Act establishing a Purple Alert system in the commonwealth

H 2657 would require the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security to establish a Purple Alert system specifically for locating missing persons with disabilities. The program would activate when a person with a disability is reported missing, providing timely information to law enforcement and the public to aid in the search. This bill directly affects individuals with disabilities who go missing and the state's public safety agencies responsible for implementing the alert system. The Purple Alert system aims to complement existing missing persons protocols by focusing on cases involving disabilities, without altering current legal procedures.
