* SS HCS HB 302
Sponsor: Hill, Justin
Status: Back to H
Description: Establish a "Blue Alert System" for law enforcement alerts for persons who assaulted police officers and then fled -- similar to the Amber Alert system for missing children.

  • Note: The descriptions of bills, amendments and roll-call votes are written by MDN journalists. MDN's database may not include committee assignments of bills made on the last day of the session since it is too late for the committee to act on the bill and, thus, the delayed assignment has no practical effect.
