Enhanced Alerts for Missing Loved Ones with Disabilities Act...
To amend Kristen's Act to provide for the inclusion of information related to developmental disabilities, alzheimer's disease, and dementia, in alerts issued through the Ashanti Alert communications network, and for other purposes.
HB9118 aims to update the existing Kristen's Act by adding more information about missing individuals who have developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia in the alerts issued through the Ashanti Alert system. This change is intended to enhance the effectiveness of the alerts and improve the chances of finding these individuals.
This bill would primarily impact emergency services, law enforcement, and the families of individuals with developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia. By including more detailed information in alerts, it could lead to quicker and more accurate identification and recovery efforts.
As of June 3, 2026, HB9118 has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This means the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process and will need to go through several steps, including committee review, possible amendments, and a vote in the House before it can move to the Senate.
