Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires a law enforcement agency that has issued an alert for a
missing adult at risk, commonly known as a "Silver Alert," to refer the person making
the report to a local aging and disability resource center. This bill also requires the
Department of Transportation to review the driver's license of the person who is the
subject of such an alert to determine if restrictions should be imposed on the person's
license for the safety of the person or the public.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
