Bill > SJR0570

This resolution commemorates the fifth anniversary of the updated Tennessee Silver Alert law, a program designed to help locate missing individuals, particularly seniors and those with cognitive impairments like Alzheimer's disease, who may wander and become lost. The updated law, passed in 2021, enhanced collaboration between local law enforcement agencies and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, and improved cooperation with media outlets to disseminate alerts effectively. Since its update, the Silver Alert program has been highly successful, issuing over 500 alerts and playing a crucial role in safely returning many Tennesseans to their families, a service that is increasingly important as the state's senior population grows.
