New Mississippi Law to Follow Path of Amber Alert

When it comes to laws, they are usually rules enacted to maintain peace and proper conduct. When a law is broken, it is my job to represent clients who have broken the law or been a victim of someone who has broken the law. However, in this case, the state of Mississippi has passed a bill that will bring beneficial assistance for missing elderly people

The Silver Alert will become law on July 1st of this year after Governor Haley Barbour of Mississippi signed a bill on Wednesday, March 24th. This new law will set up a system very similar to the Amber Alert, which will alert the public and law enforcement of when an elderly person is reported missing, This law will also allow for people with dementia or other health impairment to be reported missing.

The Silver Alert law will be very beneficial to Mississippi’s elderly citizens, ill citizens, and the friends and families of elderly and ill people. This law gives hope and reassurance to all of Mississippi’s residents. I hope more states will follow Mississippi’s footprints into the right direction to protect their residents.
