Law enforcement: reports; amber alert act; modify. Amends title & sec. 3 of 2002 PA 712 (MCL 28.753).
This bill modifies the Michigan Amber Alert Act to ensure that the state's emergency alert system is activated for missing children with special needs, alongside existing criteria for child abductions. It requires the Department of State Police to update its activation policies to include these specific cases, thereby expanding the scope of when an Amber Alert can be issued. The legislation does not change funding or penalties but focuses on clarifying the procedures law enforcement must follow to include vulnerable children in the alert system.
