H.B. No. 908 amends Article 63.00905(a) of the Code of Criminal Procedure to enhance the reporting requirements for law enforcement agencies regarding missing children. The bill mandates that upon receiving a report of a missing child, law enforcement must immediately initiate an investigation and enter the child's information into various databases, including the Texas Law Enforcement Telecommunications System and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, within two hours. Additionally, the bill requires that the name of the child be entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System within 30 days and that the reporting individual be informed of these actions.

Furthermore, the bill repeals a previous version of Article 63.00905(a) that was deemed duplicative, streamlining the reporting process. The changes aim to ensure a more efficient and comprehensive response to missing child cases, thereby improving the chances of locating these children quickly. The act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
