Bill > HB162

This bill enacts the Blue Alert Act, which provides for a notification plan to rapidly disseminate information about a person suspected of killing or seriously injuring a law enforcement officer who has not been apprehended. The key provisions include: defining the roles of the authorized requester, the blue alert, and law enforcement officers; establishing procedures for notifying the public, media, law enforcement agencies, and cellular service providers; allowing other law enforcement agencies to initiate a blue alert; and enabling cross-state and international notifications. The goal is to assist in locating and apprehending the suspect while avoiding compromising any ongoing investigations.
