This Memorial declares February 15, 2022, as "Missing and Unidentified Persons Day" in the Senate, aiming to raise awareness and support for efforts to locate and identify missing individuals and human remains. It highlights the importance of the Mark Daniel Aguilar information sharing requirement, which mandates the New Mexico Department of Public Safety to share relevant data with the national missing and unidentified persons system, a nationwide clearinghouse managed by the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice. The Memorial acknowledges the significant number of active missing and unidentified persons cases in New Mexico and nationally, emphasizing the profound impact these disappearances have on families and the need to recognize their ongoing struggles and keep these cases a priority.
