SB 456 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Law enforcement: reports; notification of the public through wireless devices of a missing senior or vulnerable adult; provide for. Amends title & sec. 5 of 2012 PA 176 (MCL 28.715).

SB 456 amends Michigan's "Mozelle senior or vulnerable adult medical alert act" to require law enforcement agencies to activate a text-message alert system for missing seniors or vulnerable adults. After filing a report under Section 3, agencies must notify the State Police to trigger a system that sends location-specific alerts via wireless devices through the existing emergency alert network. This directly affects vulnerable individuals and their families by enabling rapid public notification through texts, broadcasters, and newspapers. The bill mandates that alerts include descriptions and relevant details to aid in locating missing persons, while ensuring the system operates only after a completed report and per State Police policies.
