14 | available informational materials, through publications or | ||||||
15 | electronic or other media, that advise the public about how | ||||||
16 | the information or materials identified in this subsection | ||||||
17 | are used to help locate or identify missing persons. | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

17 | high-risk missing person by another law enforcement | ||||||
18 | agency; | ||||||
19 | (G) there is evidence that the person is at risk | ||||||
20 | because: | ||||||

15 | (B) If a law enforcement agency has previously | ||||||
16 | determined that a missing person is not a high-risk | ||||||
17 | missing person, but obtains new information, it shall | ||||||
18 | immediately determine whether the information | ||||||
19 | indicates that the missing person is a high-risk | ||||||
20 | missing person. | ||||||
21 | (C) Law enforcement agencies are encouraged to | ||||||
22 | establish written protocols for the handling of | ||||||
23 | missing person cases to accomplish the purposes of this | ||||||

8 | (i) All appropriate DNA profiles, as | ||||||
9 | determined by the Department of State Police, | ||||||
10 | shall be uploaded into the missing person | ||||||
11 | databases of the State DNA Index System (SDIS) and | ||||||

11 | receive the notification from the Department of State | ||||||
12 | Police shall notify officers to be on the lookout for | ||||||
13 | the missing person or a suspected abductor. | ||||||
14 | (D) Pursuant to any applicable State criteria, | ||||||
15 | local law enforcement agencies shall also provide for | ||||||
16 | the prompt use of an Amber Alert in cases involving | ||||||
17 | abducted children; or public dissemination of | ||||||

18 | Department of State Police of the existence of possible | ||||||
19 | human remains. | ||||||
20 | Section 20. Unidentified persons or human remains | ||||||
21 | identification responsibilities. | ||||||

18 | (c) No medical examiner or coroner or any other person | ||||||
19 | shall dispose of, or engage in
actions that will materially | ||||||

| ||||||
22 | (1) samples suitable for DNA identification, | ||||||
23 | archiving; | ||||||
24 | (2) photographs of the unidentified person or human | ||||||

3 | (e) The medical examiner or coroner or the
Department of | ||||||
4 | State Police shall make reasonable efforts to obtain
prompt DNA | ||||||
5 | analysis of biological samples if the human remains have
not | ||||||
6 | been identified by other means within 30 days.
| ||||||
7 | (f) The medical examiner or coroner or the
Department of | ||||||
8 | State Police shall seek support from appropriate State
and | ||||||
9 | federal agencies for human remains identification efforts. | ||||||
10 | This
support may include, but is not limited to, available | ||||||
11 | mitochondrial or
nuclear DNA testing, federal grants for DNA | ||||||
12 | testing, or federal grants for
crime laboratory or medical | ||||||
13 | examiner or coroner's office improvement.
| ||||||
14 | (g) The Department of State Police
shall promptly enter | ||||||
15 | information in federal and State

26 | practicable.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (h) If the Department of State Police does not input the | ||||||
2 | data directly into the
federal databases, the Department of | ||||||
3 | State Police shall consult with
the medical examiner or | ||||||
4 | coroner's office to ensure appropriate training of the data
| ||||||
5 | entry personnel and the establishment of a quality assurance | ||||||
6 | protocol for
ensuring the ongoing quality of data entered in | ||||||
7 | the federal and State
databases.
| ||||||
8 | (i) Nothing in this Act shall be interpreted to preclude | ||||||
9 | any medical examiner
or coroner's office, the Department of | ||||||
10 | State Police, or a local law
enforcement agency from pursuing | ||||||
11 | other efforts to identify unidentified
human remains including | ||||||
12 | efforts to publicize information, descriptions, or
photographs | ||||||
13 | that may aid in the identification of the unidentified remains,
| ||||||
14 | allow family members to identify the missing person, and seek | ||||||
15 | to protect
the dignity of the missing person.
