Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a Purple Alert Program in Maryland to help locate missing adults who have cognitive impairments, intellectual disabilities, or brain injuries, provided they do not already qualify for the Silver Alert system. The Maryland State Police will create guidelines for issuing these alerts, train local law enforcement, and coordinate with broadcasters, volunteer groups, and highway signs to spread information quickly. Additionally, the program includes a provision allowing high school students to assist in searches under specific educational guidelines. Caregivers or those reporting a missing person must immediately notify local police and the State Police if the individual is found, ensuring the alert is deactivated promptly.

Natural Resources - Northern Snakehead - Common Name
Maddy summaryThis Maryland bill officially changes the common name of the northern snakehead to "Patuxent Fish" or "Chesapeake Channa" in state laws and department publications. It creates a specific commercial fishing license for catching this fish in tidal waters, allowing the use of bow and arrow or hook and line methods with certain safety restrictions near swimmers and divers. The license costs $15 per year, is valid for one year, and cannot be transferred to another person. The Department of Natural Resources must update all its materials to use the new names by January 1, 2025, while the law itself takes effect on October 1, 2024.
