Bill To Expedite AMBER Alert Activation

Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara has introduced new legislation that would expedite the activation of AMBER alerts in certain circumstances and allow parents to request early activation from state police. The bill follows the recent disappearance of a nine-year-old girl in Saratoga County, who went missing in early October while on a bike ride in a state park. She was ultimately found safe after more than 48 hours and 47-year-old Craig Ross was charged in connection to her kidnapping.
