 * ALT1:... that ...? Source: "In 2003 former President George W. Bush signed into law "Suzanne's Law," requiring police to notify the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) when someone between 18 and 21 is reported missing, as part of the national "Amber Alert" bill. Previously police were only required to report missing persons under the age of 18. Any person under the age of 21 is considered a missing child." Center for Hope (the organization started by Lyall's parents) The state's new Campus Safety Act, signed into law this month by Gov. George E. Pataki, requires the prompt investigation of violent felonies on college campuses. The law also requires colleges to file prompt reports on missing students., The New York Times, April 18, 1999
