AI Summary
This bill amends the Missing Persons Identification Act to expedite the entry of dental records for missing individuals into law enforcement databases. Specifically, if a missing person remains missing for 30 days after a police report is filed, their dental records will be added to the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS), a statewide database used by law enforcement. Furthermore, if the person remains missing for 60 days after the police report, their dental records will be entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs), a national database managed by the U.S. Department of Justice. These changes aim to facilitate the identification of missing persons by making their dental information more readily available for comparison with unidentified remains.
