Introduced Text

Illinois SB4009 amends the Missing Persons Identification Act to enhance procedures for missing person reports and unidentified remains.

Illinois SB4009 revises the Missing Persons Identification Act to improve the handling of missing person reports and unidentified human remains. It mandates that law enforcement agencies accept missing person reports without delay and cannot refuse a report based on the age of the missing person, the time they have been missing, or the absence of foul play. The bill requires law enforcement agencies to gather detailed information from the reporting individual, including photographs, descriptions, and personal items.
