BILL NUMBER:S1100A
Title of bill
An act to amend the executive law, in relation to missing children and vulnerable adults
Purpose
To provide for semiannual reports by law enforcement agencies on missing vulnerable adults.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends section 837-m of the executive law to authorize the chief of every police department, every county sheriff, and the Superintendent of State Police to submit, at least semiannually, reports to the Division of Criminal Justice Services with respect to specified cases of missing vulnerable adults that are closed.
Section 2 of the bill is the effective date.
Justification
At this time, New York State has a missing children clearinghouse and a missing vulnerable adult clearing house. Under current law, various law enforcement agencies must report certain information relating to missing children to the division of criminal justice services on a semi-annual basis. However, such a reporting requirement does not exist for missing vulnerable adults. This bill addresses this situation by authorizing law enforcement departments to also include information on missing vulnerable adults in these semi-annual reports.
Vulnerable adults include individuals eighteen years of age or older who have a cognitive impairment, mental disability, or brain disorder and whose disappearance has been determined by law enforcement to pose a creditable threat of harm to such missing individual. Since various law enforcement authorities may already maintain their own records and statistics on vulnerable adults, it makes sense to provide a mechanism by which this information can be reported to the division of criminal justice services. This bill will allow for accurate and current information to be maintained by an agency and also provide a reliable source for such information when the need arises.
