HB 18 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Missing person alert systems.

HB 18 requires Wyoming's Office of Homeland Security and Highway Patrol to coordinate with local, tribal, and federal law enforcement to integrate missing person alert systems into existing emergency networks. It specifically defines "adult at risk" as an adult with developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's/dementia, or cognitive impairments that could prevent them from reaching safety without assistance. The law mandates the Highway Patrol to report annually on alert system usage, including details about missing persons and system effectiveness. This affects law enforcement agencies and vulnerable individuals, ensuring alert systems better address cases outside standard emergency protocols.
