The proposed bill establishes the "Ebony Alert Act," which aims to create an official response system for reports of abductions involving certain qualifying individuals, specifically women aged 18 to 65 who are at risk, developmentally disabled, cognitively impaired, or abducted. The bill mandates that law enforcement agencies notify the Department of State Police when a qualifying individual is reported missing under suspicious circumstances, prompting the activation of the ebony alert plan. This plan is designed to quickly disseminate information to media outlets to aid in locating the missing individual.

Additionally, the bill creates the ebony alert fund to support the maintenance and operation of the alert system. The fund will be administered by the Department of State Police and will consist of appropriated state funds and other sources. The legislation also includes provisions to penalize individuals who intentionally make false reports regarding missing persons, classifying such actions as misdemeanors punishable by fines or imprisonment. The court may also require convicted individuals to cover the costs incurred by the state or local governments in responding to these false reports.
