The bill amends the "Child Abduction Broadcast Act" to expand its scope to include missing children alongside those who have been abducted. The title of the act is updated to reflect this change, and the language throughout the bill is revised to incorporate references to missing children. Specifically, the act now allows radio and television stations to broadcast information regarding both child abductions and reports of missing children, with the aim of assisting in their location or the apprehension of suspects.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that stations receiving information from the Michigan Department of State Police under the Michigan Amber Alert Act may disseminate this information through various channels, including social media. It also provides immunity from liability for stations that accurately broadcast such information. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4518.
