The Minnesota legislative bill HF No. aims to expand the definition of "endangered" within the existing Missing and Endangered Persons Program. This involves amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, particularly section 299C.52, subdivision 1. The bill offers a precise set of criteria that, if met, would classify a missing person as endangered. These criteria include situations such as confirmed abductions, being missing under dangerous circumstances, missing for more than 30 days, being under 21 years old with other risk factors, needing urgent medical care, having cognitive impairments like dementia, or having been previously threatened or subjected to violence. It also covers cases where a person might be lost in challenging outdoor environments. The expanded definition aims to improve how law enforcement identifies and responds to cases involving persons deemed at significant risk of harm.
