Enhanced Alerts for Missing Loved Ones with Disabilities Act of 2026

This bill changes federal law on Ashanti Alerts, which are alerts issued when an adult goes missing. Alerts would include information on whether the missing person has a developmental disability, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia. It changes one of the conditions for covering a missing adult from having a "proven" mental or physical disability to having been diagnosed with a mental, physical, or developmental disability, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia. It also adds training and education programs on responding to reports of missing adults and missing children with developmental disabilities.
