Establishes the Spectrum Alert system to notify the public when a child with autism spectrum disorder is missing.
The Spectrum Alert Act creates a system to notify citizens when a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is missing. The Department of Public Safety and Corrections will develop and implement this system, which includes procedures for notifying the public and determining when a child is truly missing. The act also mandates training for law enforcement officers to respond effectively to missing children with ASD. Additionally, it provides immunity from liability for those involved in the alert process.
