Conditions in which a missing person may be considered to be endangered specification and Public and Local Alert Advisory Board establishment

This bill defines 13 specific conditions that must be met for a missing person to be considered "endangered," such as abduction, missing for over 30 days, medical needs requiring immediate care, or mental impairment like dementia or autism. It requires the commissioner of public safety to create policies for issuing public alerts about missing and endangered persons, including criteria for alerts and the information to share with the public. The bill also establishes a Public and Local Alert Advisory Board with 13 members representing law enforcement, health services, aging organizations, autism advocacy, and mental health groups to advise the commissioner on these policies. This board will help standardize alert protocols to ensure timely public notifications for vulnerable missing persons cases.
