Bill > SB1830

This bill amends existing Arizona law to expand the criteria for issuing a "Turquoise Alert," which is a quick response system for missing persons. Previously, a Turquoise Alert could be issued if a missing person under 65 was determined to be a runaway (if a child), kidnapped, or missing under suspicious circumstances, and was believed to be in danger. This bill modifies the law to allow a Turquoise Alert to be issued for a missing child if the law enforcement agency investigating the case has used all local resources and believes the child is in danger, *regardless* of whether the child is confirmed to be a runaway or kidnapped. The bill also clarifies that a "law enforcement agency" can include tribal or federal agencies operating in Arizona, and that a "person" can be a member of a federally recognized Indian Tribe.
