Expands missing person alerts to include people with developmental disabilities and dementia.
The problem
Missing person alert systems don't always include information about developmental disabilities, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia, which can delay finding vulnerable missing persons.
The proposal
Amends Kristen's Act to require the Ashanti Alert system to include information about these conditions when issuing alerts for missing people.
The impact
Families of missing people with disabilities and dementia may get faster help. Police and public get better information to find vulnerable missing persons.
Including disability and dementia information helps police and the public understand why someone needs urgent help. This can lead to faster searches and safer recoveries.
Alerts with disability details help people understand behavioral patterns that might help find the missing person. This makes searches more effective.
People with developmental disabilities and dementia face higher risks when missing. This bill addresses a real safety gap for these groups.
The system already exists. Adding information fields requires minimal resources compared to building new infrastructure.
Broadcasting health information publicly could expose personal medical details. Some families may worry about stigma or discrimination resulting from disclosure.
More detailed alerts with additional conditions might reduce public attention over time. People may ignore alerts if they see too many.
The bill text doesn't specify exactly how information will be collected, verified, or shared. This could create confusion about procedures.
Publicly available health information could potentially be used inappropriately by bad actors targeting vulnerable populations.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
