HB 2102 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of November 24, 2004 (P.L.1270, No.153), referred to as the Pennsylvania Amber Alert System Law, further providing for title of the act, for Pennsylvania Amber Alert System and Missing Endangered Person Advisory System (MEPAS) established and for immunity.

HB 2102 amends Pennsylvania's Amber Alert law to create a new "Pennsylvania Purple Alert System" for missing individuals with specific conditions, including autism, Alzheimer's (under age 60), dementia (under age 60), traumatic brain injury, or similar impairments. The Pennsylvania State Police will establish and maintain this system to provide public alerts and coordinate with law enforcement for faster recovery of these vulnerable individuals. The bill updates the law's title to include the Purple Alert System and expands existing immunity protections for good Samaritans who assist in Amber Alert, MEPAS, or Purple Alert cases. This change adds a targeted alert system without altering the existing Amber Alert procedures.
