Relates to establishing a green alert system for missing military members
This bill establishes a statewide "Green Alert" system to help locate missing current or former military members. It specifically applies to those who have opted into the system and suffer from a mental illness, such as PTSD, or a traumatic brain injury. When a participating military member is reported missing and a law enforcement agency verifies their condition and that their disappearance poses a threat, the Department of Veterans' Services activates the alert. The Green Alert then shares relevant information with designated media outlets and may utilize dynamic message signs to aid in their safe recovery, while also including provisions for privacy and allowing military members to opt out.
