Bill > HB5

This bill creates an "Ebony Alert System" to send alerts to assist in the recovery of a missing Black youth, including a young woman or girl, under certain circumstances. The bill outlines the criteria for activating an Ebony Alert, which includes the missing person being between 12 and 25 years old, suffering from a mental or physical disability, or being missing under unexplained or suspicious circumstances that indicate the person's safety may be endangered. The law enforcement agency must have utilized local resources and believe that disseminating information to the public could assist in the safe recovery of the missing person. The bill also encourages radio, television, cable, satellite, and social media systems to cooperate in disseminating the alert information.
