This amendment modifies the exceptions to missing persons reporting requirements by clarifying residency language, adding a new exception for persons sought due to harassment or stalking, and expanding the circumstances under which reports may be deemed impractical.
- Revises the exception for non-resident missing persons to require that the most recent verifiable location was not in Wyoming, removing the separate residency requirement. (Page 2, lines 12-14)
- Changes the conjunction from 'and' to 'or' when describing the basis for law enforcement suspicion regarding fleeing or being sought. (Page 2, line 22)
- Adds a semicolon at the end of the clause about lawfully fleeing, and removes the reference to being sought for harassment, stalking or retaliation from that clause. (Page 3, line 4)
- Deletes a line and inserts a new exception allowing law enforcement to decline a report when the person reported missing is being sought for reasons of harassment, stalking or retaliation. (Page 3, lines 5-16)
- Renumbers the subsequent exception from (vii) to (viii) to account for the newly inserted exception. (Page 3, line 7)
- Expands the 'extenuating circumstances' exception by changing 'or' to a comma after 'impractical' and adding 'or unsafe for the missing person' as an additional circumstance that can justify declining to accept a report. (Page 3, lines 10-22)
