CA SB388

Eliminates the ability of local jurisdictions to opt out of missing persons reporting requirements by adopting a resolution, making all reporting requirements mandatory for police and sheriff's departments statewide.

Requires law enforcement agencies to automatically execute a written declaration to obtain dental or skeletal X-rays and treatment notes if an at-risk missing person has not been found within 30 days and records have not otherwise been obtained.

Mandates local police and sheriff's departments accept missing persons reports without delay, broadcast "Be On the Lookout" bulletins for persons under 21 or at-risk individuals, and transmit reports to the Department of Justice within two hours.

Requires law enforcement to submit supplemental information including dental records, fingerprints, and photographs to the Department of Justice database within 60 days of the initial report.

Provides that if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill imposes state-mandated costs, reimbursement to local agencies shall be made pursuant to Government Code Part 7.
