Bill Caption

Relating to the creation of a statewide alert system for missing military members.

Fiscal Notes

From the LBB: no significant fiscal implication to the state is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

SB 1622 would amend the Government Code to have the Department of Transportation develop and implement a statewide camo alert to be activated on behalf of a missing military member who suffers from a mental illness. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

The creation of an alert system within existing resources for a missing military member neither uplifts or offends our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
