Modifies provisions relating to missing persons

HB 1352 modifies Missouri's missing persons reporting procedures to improve response times and coordination. It defines "missing child" more specifically (including youth under 21 in foster care at risk of sex trafficking) and requires law enforcement to immediately enter reports into state and national databases (MULES, NCIC) within two hours of receiving a missing child complaint from agencies or guardians. The bill mandates that law enforcement submit detailed information to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and maintain active records in databases like NamUs until the person is found or the case closes. It also prohibits law enforcement from ending investigations based solely on arbitrary time limits, ensuring ongoing efforts for missing persons.
