Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend 175.51 (1m) (a) 2. of the statutes; relating to: age for the issuance of a Missing Child Alert.
AI Summary
This bill amends a Wisconsin statute concerning the issuance of a Missing Child Alert, which is a public notification system used to help locate missing children. Specifically, it changes the age requirement for when a child's situation automatically qualifies for such an alert if they are believed to be incapable of returning home due to a physical or mental condition or disability. Previously, this provision applied to children under 10 years old, but this bill raises that age to 12 years old, meaning children under 12 will now automatically meet this criterion for a Missing Child Alert if they are missing and meet the other conditions.
