OH HB217

Law enforcement agencies must enter missing person information into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) if the person is not located within 30 days of the initial report

Applies to all missing persons categories: missing children (under 18), young adults (18-20), and adults (21+), with information required to be integrated into both the National Crime Information Center and NamUs databases

When a missing person is found, law enforcement must promptly remove information from the automated data system and report to NamUs that the person has been located

The Attorney General's best practices protocol for missing persons must include the NamUs reporting requirement for all law enforcement agencies statewide

Amends Ohio Revised Code sections 2901.30, 2901.41, and 2901.42 to add NamUs as a defined term and incorporate reporting obligations throughout existing missing persons procedures
