The proposed bill establishes the "Ebony Alert Act," which aims to create a formal 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 act mandates that law enforcement agencies notify the Department of State Police when they believe a qualifying individual is missing under suspicious circumstances. The Department is tasked with developing and maintaining the Ebony Alert plan, which will facilitate rapid dissemination of information to media outlets to aid in locating the missing individuals.

Additionally, the bill creates the Ebony Alert Fund to support the operation and administration of the alert system. This fund will be managed by the Department of State Police and will consist of appropriated funds and other sources of revenue. 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 bill emphasizes the importance of accurate reporting to ensure the effectiveness of the alert system and the safety of vulnerable individuals.
