Bill > SB41

This bill creates the Christian Taylor Ferguson (CTF) Medical Alert System, a statewide program designed to help locate missing endangered persons who require immediate medical care. An "endangered person" is defined as an individual missing under suspicious or involuntary circumstances who needs urgent medical treatment or medication. The Department of Public Safety will develop regional systems and coordinate with local law enforcement and media broadcasters to disseminate information about missing persons. The system will include state agencies like the highway patrol, transportation department, health services, and Missouri lottery, with participation being optional for local law enforcement and broadcasters. The program aims to quickly spread urgent public information to aid in locating missing individuals. The bill also establishes that anyone knowingly making a false report that triggers an alert will be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. The Department of Public Safety is tasked with administering the system and creating implementation rules, with provisions ensuring that any rules comply with existing state legislative review processes. The system is named after Christian Taylor Ferguson, though the bill does not provide details about this person's specific circumstances.
