Bill overview
House Bill 4331 creates the "Ebony Alert Act" to establish a standardized response to missing person reports involving women aged 18-65 who are considered ‘at risk’ – meaning in imminent danger of serious harm. The bill outlines a process for law enforcement to activate an ‘Ebony Alert’ system, which will rapidly disseminate information to media outlets. It also establishes a dedicated fund to support the alert system’s operation and includes penalties for knowingly filing false reports.
