Clarifies criteria for issuing MVP Emergency Alerts for vulnerable persons.
This bill modifies the criteria for issuing Missing Vulnerable Person (MVP) Emergency Alerts in New Jersey. It allows for alerts to be issued when a person with a mental, intellectual, or developmental disability goes missing, regardless of how they were traveling at the time. The alerts include descriptions and instructions for the public and are broadcast frequently initially, then at intervals deemed appropriate. The bill also mandates that the Department of Transportation and related authorities inform the public via variable message signs during an alert.
