Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the "child abduction broadcast act" to include missing children, not just abducted children. It allows radio and TV stations to broadcast information about missing children, including on social media, if they receive it from the state police. Stations that accurately broadcast this information will be protected from legal responsibility.
