Bill overview
This bill amends Michigan’s existing senior and vulnerable adult alert law to specifically include missing veterans at risk. It clarifies the definition of a ‘missing senior or vulnerable adult’ to encompass veterans with physical or mental health conditions. The bill also expands who can report a missing person as ‘familiar’ to include guardians, healthcare power of attorneys, and those providing home health aid. This aims to improve the response to missing individuals, particularly those who may be vulnerable due to age, disability, or military service.
