Ohio HB677 amends custody interference laws, requiring wireless service providers to share call location data with law enforcement in emergencies. It also creates a statewide endangered missing child alert system, involving law enforcement, broadcasters, and the governor's office. The alert activates when a child's disappearance poses a high risk for serious harm or death. Broadcasters participating in the alert are immune from liability for related damages.
