Improved Tracking of Missing Persons on Federal Lands and US Waters

This new law will enhance the search for missing persons by adding data to the national missing persons system indicating if their last known location was on federal land or in territorial waters. This will provide authorities with more information, potentially speeding up the recovery of loved ones and increasing citizen safety, especially in government-managed areas.
Key points
Introduction of a new data field in the missing persons system to indicate if the last known location was on federal land or in US territorial waters.
Annual reporting on the number of missing persons cases in these areas, increasing transparency and allowing for assessment of the problem's scale.
