The bill amends the "Child Abduction Broadcast Act" to enhance the provisions regarding the broadcast of information related to child abductions and missing children. It updates the title of the act to include "and missing child" and allows radio and television stations to broadcast information received from the Michigan Department of State Police concerning both child abductions and reports of missing children. The bill specifies that this information can be disseminated in various ways, including through social media, to assist in locating the child or apprehending suspects.

Additionally, the bill provides immunity from liability to radio and television stations that accurately broadcast information about child abductions or missing children obtained from the Michigan Department of State Police under the Michigan Amber Alert Act. The amendments aim to improve the effectiveness of communication during critical situations involving child safety. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4518.
