The bill amends the "Mozelle senior or vulnerable adult medical alert act" to enhance the response to reports of missing seniors or vulnerable adults. It introduces new provisions that establish the senior or vulnerable adult medical alert as the official response mechanism, allowing for the broadcast of information regarding such incidents. Additionally, the bill outlines the powers and duties of state and local governmental officers and entities involved in the alert process.

Key changes include the requirement for law enforcement agencies to promptly forward information about missing individuals to relevant agencies and broadcasters, as well as the establishment of a missing senior or vulnerable adult medical alert system plan by the department of state police. This plan is designed to rapidly disseminate information through wireless devices and can only be activated after a report is completed. The bill also emphasizes the need for law enforcement to notify the department of state police upon the completion of a report to initiate the alert process.
