Conditions in which a missing person may be considered to be endangered specified, commissioner of public safety required to establish policies and protocols for issuing alerts to the public regarding missing and endangered persons, and Public and Local Alert Advisory Board established.

HF 2625 defines specific conditions under which a missing person is considered "endangered" (such as abduction risk, medical needs, cognitive impairments, or dangerous circumstances), directly affecting law enforcement agencies that determine when to issue public alerts. The bill requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Public Safety to develop policies and protocols for issuing public alerts about missing and endangered persons, including criteria for alerts, shared information, and geographic scope. It establishes the Public and Local Alert Advisory Board, composed of diverse stakeholders like law enforcement, health officials, and advocacy groups (e.g., Alzheimer's Association, Autism Society), to advise on alert protocols. These changes aim to standardize alert systems across the state while ensuring alerts are issued based on clear, evidence-based criteria.
