A missing persons report must include, in addition to other information, the name, address, and phone number of the guardian, if one exists, of the missing person.

Currently, there is a "missing endangered person" advisory system under Section 650.025 to find people who are physically or mentally disabled to the degree that the person is dependent upon an agency or another individual, missing under circumstances indicating that the missing person's safety may be in danger, or missing under involuntary or unknown circumstances.

This act expands the "Amber Alert System" to be the "Amber Alert and Silver Alert System" to find missing endangered persons. Such persons include those who do not meet the amber alert criteria, are missing under unexplained, involuntary or suspicious circumstances, and are believe to be in danger because of age, health, guardianship, or other reasons or such persons are in the company of a potentially dangerous person or some other factors exist that may put the person in peril. The term endangered person does not include a runaway.

This act is similar to HB 1302 (2010).
