IMPROVE SILVER ALERTS

This bill requires New Mexico's cellular and paging companies to send free text alerts to all customers when a Silver Alert is issued for a missing person. It mandates that telecom companies integrate these alerts into their standard messaging systems without additional cost to users. The law would expand the current alert system by using mobile networks to rapidly notify the public about missing persons, as specified in the updated Silver Alert plan. The bill is pending before legislative committees after being postponed indefinitely.
