Bill Summary
AN ACT RELATING TO MISSING PERSONS; REQUIRING CONFIDENTIALITY OF A FOUND PERSON'S STATUS AND LOCATION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Mexico law to require confidentiality of the status and location of a missing person who has been found, if the person requests such confidentiality. The bill specifies that a law enforcement agency must report to the missing person's custodian or immediate family member that the person has been found, unless there is evidence that doing so may cause harm to an incapacitated person. Additionally, the bill allows the Department of Public Safety to classify certain records related to missing persons or unidentified human remains as confidential if their release could interfere with an investigation or harm an individual.
