Purple Alert

Rate

AI Summary: The "Purple Alert Act" is a federal bill that aims to establish a nationwide alert system, similar to Amber and Silver Alerts, specifically for missing adults between the ages of 18 and 64 who have disabilities or are in immediate danger. The bill seeks to provide a rapid response system to assist in locating these individuals and ensuring their safety. It proposes coordination between law enforcement agencies, broadcasters, transportation agencies, and other relevant entities to disseminate information quickly when an eligible adult goes missing. The Purple Alert Act intends to address the unique vulnerabilities of this population and enhance efforts to locate and protect missing adults with disabilities.
