This bill amends Title 35 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by adding a new chapter, Chapter 61, which establishes the Pennsylvania Amber Alert System, the Missing Endangered Person Advisory System, and the Green Alert System. The Pennsylvania State Police are tasked with the establishment and maintenance of these systems to assist in the recovery of abducted children, missing persons at special risk, and veterans-at-risk. The bill outlines the duties of the Pennsylvania State Police, including the creation of protocols for effective operation, public education, and coordination with other jurisdictions. It also includes provisions for the prohibited use of these alert systems and establishes civil penalties for violations.

Additionally, the bill introduces a cost assessment of $25 for individuals convicted of specific offenses related to abduction and missing persons, which will be used to support the alert systems. It provides immunity from civil liability for media personnel and Good Samaritans who assist in these cases, ensuring that they are protected while acting in good faith. The previous Pennsylvania Amber Alert System Law is repealed, but all activities initiated under that law will continue under the new chapter, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity of operations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
