Bill Summary

A BILL To direct the Attorney General to include a data field in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System to indicate whether the last known location of a missing person was confirmed or was suspected to have been on Federal land, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Tracking and Reporting Absent Community-Members Everywhere (TRACE) Act, directs the Attorney General, through the National Institute of Justice, to enhance the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System by adding a new data field that specifies whether a missing person's last known location was confirmed or suspected to be on Federal land, and if so, to include specific details about the location. The bill requires the Attorney General to submit an annual report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, starting in the second calendar year after enactment, detailing the number of cases involving missing persons or unidentified remains on Federal land, broken down by the specific federal land management agency. For the purposes of this act, "Federal land" is defined as land owned by the United States and administered by the Departments of Agriculture, Interior (excluding land held in trust for Native American Tribes), or Defense (specifically for Army Corps of Engineers water and land projects). The goal of the bill is to improve tracking and reporting of missing persons and unidentified remains on federal lands, potentially helping to solve missing person cases and provide more transparency about such incidents.
