Bill overview
This bill modifies the existing Michigan Amber Alert Act to clarify how radio and television stations can broadcast information about child abductions or missing children. Specifically, it allows stations to use various methods, including social media, to share this information with the public. Furthermore, the bill provides immunity from liability for stations that accurately broadcast this information obtained from the Michigan Department of State Police. The bill is contingent on the passage of companion legislation, HB 4518.
