Establishes a green alert system for missing at-risk veterans, ensuring confidentiality and prioritizing de-escalation.
The bill establishes a green alert system for missing at-risk veterans, managed by the Department of Public Safety. A green alert is activated if a veteran is reported missing under circumstances suggesting they are at risk. The alert is confidential and not disseminated to the public. Information is shared only with specific entities like law enforcement and mental health providers. The alert prioritizes de-escalation and voluntary engagement. It cannot be used to initiate an arrest, conduct a warrantless detention, justify involuntary commitment, or bypass due process.
