SB 5848: Missing & runaway children

Changing provisions relating to missing and runaway children.

Summary

  • Law enforcement agencies that receive a report of a missing child are to also submit those reports to the crime information center. Law enforcement officers who have reasonable cause to believe a child is missing, a run away or absent from the home without the parent's consent are to make a good faith effort to locate the child, and are not liable for civil damages if they comply with this requirement.
