The bill amends the existing Michigan Amber Alert law to enhance the criteria for activating the Amber Alert system. It specifies that the Michigan Amber Alert plan must be activated for reports of missing children who are either in imminent danger or have special needs, following a preliminary investigation by law enforcement. The definition of a "child with special needs" is provided, detailing the criteria for evaluation and the age limit of 26 years for individuals who qualify under this category.

Additionally, the title of the act is amended to reflect its broader scope, now including reports of certain missing children alongside child abductions. The bill is referred to as the "Rowan act" and is set to take immediate effect upon approval.
