SF 664 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Definition of endangered expansion for purposes of the missing and endangered persons program

This bill expands Minnesota's definition of "endangered" for the missing and endangered persons program. It adds specific circumstances that would trigger this status, including medical needs requiring immediate care, mental impairments (like dementia or Alzheimer's), lack of a history of running away, past threats of violence, and being lost in wilderness areas. Law enforcement agencies would use this broader definition to determine when a missing person case requires urgent search and rescue efforts. The change directly affects how police respond to missing persons reports under existing protocols.
