 AN ACT to amend the executive law, in relation to providing for a formal
 process for a parent or legal guardian to request the issuance of an
 AMBER alert

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subparagraphs (vi) and (vii) of paragraph (b) of subdivi-

 3 of the laws of 2004, are amended to read as follows:
 4 (vi) police agencies not connected with the basic police communication
 5 system in use in such jurisdiction may transmit such information to the
 6 nearest or most convenient electronic entry point, from which point it
 7 may be promptly dispatched, in conformity with the orders, rules or
 8 regulations governing the system; [and]
 9 (vii) a formal process is established by which a parent or legal guar-
 10 dian may request that a missing child alert be issued. Such request
 11 shall be made to the division of state police for review; and
 12 (viii) no dispatch or transmission of a report concerning a missing
 13 child shall be required by such plan, except as provided in subparagraph
 14 (vii) of this paragraph, if the investigating police department advises,
 15 in its discretion, that the release of such information may jeopardize
 16 the investigation or the safety of the child, or requests forbearance
 17 for any reason.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
