What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) currently administers an integrated crime alert network and may use the network to provide to state agencies, law enforcement, or the public information regarding criminal activity, crime prevention, and missing or endangered persons. This bill requires DOJ to allow law enforcement agencies to use the network to disseminate to broadcasters and outdoor advertisers reports of missing adults who are at least 65 years of age and cognitively impaired. The bill also requires that DOJ solicit input from organizations that focus on individuals 65 and older regarding guidelines for such alerts and that DOJ maintain a list of organizations engaged in broadcasting or outdoor advertisement activities that have agreed to be recipients of alerts. This bill authorizes a new position at DOJ for performing the new duties under this bill.
