AI Summary

This bill amends the Mozelle Senior or Vulnerable Adult Medical Alert Act to enhance the process for reporting and locating missing seniors or vulnerable adults. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to forward information about a missing senior or vulnerable adult to multiple entities, including local law enforcement agencies where the person resides or was last seen, broadcasters, and newspapers in the potential search area. The bill introduces a new provision for the Michigan Department of State Police to establish and maintain a missing senior or vulnerable adult medical alert system plan, which will use the existing wireless emergency medical alert system to rapidly disseminate information about missing individuals through wireless devices. The medical alert can only be activated after a complete missing person report has been filed and in accordance with the department's established policies. When a law enforcement agency completes a missing person report, they must notify the Department of State Police and request a medical alert be issued, with the goal of quickly and effectively spreading information that could help locate the missing person.
