HB 2372 Senior Alert Program; created.
Introduced by: Allen W. Dudley | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Senior Alert Program. Creates a program for local, regional, or statewide notification of a missing senior adult. The bill defines a missing senior adult as an adult who is over 60 years of age, suffers from a cognitive impairment that renders him unable to provide care to himself without assistance (including a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease or dementia), and whose whereabouts are unknown and whose disappearance poses a credible threat to his health and safety. The program is similar to the Amber Alert Program for missing children. The bill also provides that no police or sheriff's department shall establish or maintain any policy that requires a waiting period before a missing senior adult report will be accepted. Such departments are also required, within two hours of receiving such a report, to enter identifying and descriptive information about the missing senior adult into the Virginia Criminal Information Network and the National Crime Information Center Systems, forward the information to the Department of State Police, notify other law-enforcement agencies in the areas, and initiate an investigation of the report. This bill is identical to SB 1117.
