HB 1537 - DIGEST
(AS OF HOUSE 2ND READING 2/21/2007)

Provides that a person who knowingly makes a false or misleading material statement to a public servant that a child has been abducted and which statement causes the activation of the voluntary broadcast notification system commonly known as the "Amber alert," or as the same system may otherwise be known, which is used to notify the public of abducted children, is guilty of a class C felony.

Declares that "material statement" means a written or oral statement reasonably likely to be relied upon by a public servant in the discharge of his or her official powers or duties.
