Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending sections 8-810, 41-1728 and 41-1728.01, Arizona Revised Statutes; amending title 41, chapter 12, article 2, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 41-1738; relating to alert systems.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law to enhance alert systems for missing children, specifically by ensuring that the "Seek and Find" alert system (for individuals with disabilities or who are elderly), the "Turquoise Alert" system (for missing persons under 65 in suspicious circumstances), and the "Amber Alert" system (for abducted children) can be activated regardless of whether the missing person is classified as a runaway. It also clarifies that the Department of Child Safety must take all necessary actions under the law for missing children, even if they haven't officially determined the child is a runaway. The bill also makes minor technical changes to existing statutes related to these alert systems.
