AI Summary
This bill, known as "Destini Smothers' law," aims to enhance collaboration between law enforcement agencies in missing persons investigations and provide support for relatives of missing persons. It amends the executive law to expand the definition of "crime victim" to include relatives of missing persons, and requires the development of a uniform plan for collaboration between police agencies in such investigations. The bill also mandates that relatives of missing persons be provided with the same services and information given to crime victims, and establishes a presumption that a missing adult person is missing under circumstances where there is a reasonable concern for their safety if the person has been the victim of domestic violence.
