Summary
The bill establishes a statewide Amber Alert system run by the Kentucky State Police, working with transportation, emergency management and media groups to broadcast alerts when a child is abducted or missing and public notice could help. It sets specific criteria for issuing alerts and requires all law‑enforcement agencies to cooperate. Called Wynter’s Law, the system uses existing resources and does not create new funding.
