New Michigan laws broaden emergency alerts for missing people

A couple of new laws expand AMBER Alerts to cover all missing children believed to be in danger, including ones with special needs.
 
Before now, AMBER Alerts were reserved just for children suspected of being abducted.
 
Meanwhile, another new law creates an alert system for missing older and vulnerable adults who could also be in danger.
 
Supporters of the policies say the extra resources during an emergency could make all the difference in finding someone.
 
The bills all received bipartisan support on their way through the Legislature.
