SB108 Alabama 2015 Session
Bill Summary
Under existing law, when a local law enforcement agency receives a report that a child is missing, the law enforcement agency is required to conduct a preliminary investigation to determine whether the child has been abducted. If the agency determines the child has been abducted, the agency then reports information to the Alabama Center for Missing and Exploited Children (ACMEC) within the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the National Crime Information Center (NCIC), and the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (ACJIC)
This bill would create the Hiawayi Robinson Emergency Missing Child Alert System to expedite notice to the public regarding a missing and endangered child
This bill would require the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency to implement the alert system and would require all local law enforcement agencies to participate in the system
This bill would provide parameters for when an alert for a missing child is activated or deactivated by a local law enforcement agency
This bill would require the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency to research enhanced technological methods for the expeditious public notification of a missing child, including electronic and web-based technologies and rapid telephone systems that alert residents in a targeted area, and implement those technological methods if feasible
This bill would also provide limited immunity for those persons participating in the dissemination of an alert under the system
Relating to missing children; to create the Emergency Missing Child Alert System to expedite notice to the public regarding missing and endangered children; to require the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency to implement the program; to require participation by local law enforcement agencies; to provide rulemaking authority; to provide procedures for the activation and deactivation of an alert; and to provide limited immunity.
