Modifies Michigan's Amber Alert Act to allow radio and TV stations to broadcast child abduction and missing child reports via social media.
This bill amends the Michigan Amber Alert Act to allow radio and television stations to broadcast information about child abductions or missing children from the Michigan Department of State Police in any manner, including through social media, to aid in locating the child or apprehending suspects. It also grants immunity from liability to stations that accurately broadcast such information. The changes will only take effect if another related bill, HB 4518, is enacted.
