SB 611 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies Amber Alert System to include abducted or missing Black youth

SB 611 would amend the Amber Alert System to explicitly include cases of missing or abducted Black youth in the criteria for issuing alerts. The key provision requires law enforcement to issue Amber Alerts for such cases, ensuring they receive the same public notification process as other missing children. This change would directly affect law enforcement agencies managing the Amber Alert system and the families of missing Black youth. The bill specifies that "Black youth" must be added to the system's eligibility requirements without altering the existing process for other missing children.
