Existing law authorizes use of the Emergency Alert System to inform the public of local, state, and national emergencies. Existing law requires a law enforcement agency to activate the Emergency Alert System within the appropriate area if that agency determines that a child 17 years of age or younger, or an individual with a proven mental or physical disability, has been abducted and is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death, and there is information available that, if disseminated to the general public, could assist in the safe recovery of that person. Existing law also authorizes the issuance and coordination of a Blue Alert following an attack upon a law enforcement officer or a Silver Alert relating to a person who is 65 years of age or older who is reported missing. This bill would authorize a law enforcement agency to request the Department of the California Highway Patrol to activate a Yellow Alert if a person has been killed due to a hit-and-run incident and the law enforcement agency has specified information concerning the suspect or the suspect's vehicle. The bill would authorize the Department of the California Highway Patrol to activate a Yellow Alert within the requested geographic area upon request of the law enforcement agency if it concurs with the law enforcement agency that specified requirements are met. This bill would also require the Department of the California Highway Patrol to track the number of Yellow Alert requests it receives from law enforcement agencies. The bill would require the Department of the California Highway Patrol to submit a final report to the Legislature of the efficacy, the advantages, and the disadvantages of the Yellow Alert System by January 1, 2026. On January 1, 2026, the provisions of this bill would be repealed.

Existing law regulates vehicles, including rules of the road, licensing requirements, and criminal penalties. Existing law makes it unlawful to drive a motor vehicle or ride a bicycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as specified, and imposes consequences when a traffic accident occurs as a result. Existing law, the Youthful Drunk Driver Visitation Program Act, authorizes a court to require a defendant or ward to visit various facilities, such as a trauma facility, as specified, a chemical dependency recovery hospital, or a county coroner's office. This bill would delete the provision authorizing a court to require a defendant or ward to visit a chemical dependency recovery hospital. This bill would replace the term "accident" with "crash" in various provisions related to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
