Senate Bill No. by Senator McMath aims to enhance the response to missing persons alerts in Louisiana by establishing specific criteria and procedures for issuing AMBER Alerts and Level II Endangered Missing Child Advisories. The bill enacts R.S. 40:2522, which outlines that an AMBER Alert will be activated for abduction cases involving children aged seventeen or under when there is a risk of serious harm or death, and sufficient descriptive information is available. If a case does not meet the AMBER Alert criteria, state police can issue a Level II Endangered Missing Child Advisory. Local law enforcement is tasked with making reasonable efforts to determine the appropriate alert type, but the final decision rests with state police.

Additionally, the bill mandates that state police provide training to local law enforcement agencies on how to respond to reports of missing children, individuals with developmental disabilities, and senior citizens, including the use of relevant alert systems. It also extends immunity from civil damages or criminal penalties to law enforcement officers and broadcasters involved in the transmission of information related to these alerts, ensuring they are protected from liability for their actions or omissions. The legislation will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action, and it will be known as "Bryan's Call."
