Senate adopts changes to missing-person reporting, requires entry into databases and clarifies exceptions

Senate File 114 would create a statutory duty for Wyoming law enforcement agencies to accept without delay credible reports of missing persons and to enter qualifying cases into relevant national, regional, and state databases. Sponsor Senator Landon described the bill as the product of years of work with sheriffs, chiefs, and local constituencies; he said Wyoming currently lacks a consistent statutory requirement for agencies to accept and report missing‑person complaints.
