Bill > HR8860

This bill, known as the Tracking and Reporting Absent Community-Members Everywhere Act or the TRACE Act, directs the Attorney General to include additional data fields in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NMUPS) for cases where a missing person's last known location was confirmed or suspected to be on federal land. This includes details about initial search and rescue efforts, the cause of death if remains are found, whether the location was on land managed by specific federal agencies, and other relevant information. The bill also requires the Attorney General to include open cases and archived cases that meet these criteria in the NMUPS within a specified timeframe. Finally, the bill mandates an annual report to Congress on the number of open and archived cases in the NMUPS, including those related to federal lands.
