Overview
This bill creates a new fund, the "Amber Alert Fund," to support enhancements to the Amber Alert system. It requires an additional $400 fee to be imposed on individuals convicted of specific crimes against minors – including interference with custody, luring a child, and endangering a child’s welfare – when the victim is under 18. The funds collected will be used to improve the Amber Alert system and support programs aimed at recovering abducted children. The bill also amends existing statutes to ensure proper collection and distribution of fines and fees related to these crimes.
