Bill > HF3371

This bill establishes a "Silver Alert" system to aid in the identification, location, and recovery of missing persons who are senior citizens with dementia, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, or other cognitive impairments. The commissioner of public safety will coordinate with local law enforcement, broadcasters, and various organizations to develop criteria and procedures for the system, which will include all state and local agencies capable of providing urgent and timely information to the public. The bill also creates a misdemeanor penalty for anyone who knowingly makes a false report that triggers an alert under this system.
