Representative Gwen Moore introduces H.R. 11005: Corey Adams Searchlight Act

We have received text from H.R. 11005: Corey Adams Searchlight Act. This bill was received on 2026-11-11, and currently has 1 cosponsor.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would create a new national “Green Alert” system for missing veterans. In simple terms, it directs the Department of Justice to set up a federal network to help states, local governments, tribes, law enforcement, broadcasters, and other partners quickly share information when a veteran goes missing.

What the Green Alert system is

The bill defines a “missing veteran” as a person who is reported missing, is a veteran, and meets the rules set by the state where they are reported missing. A “Green Alert” would be the public alert issued through this network.

What the federal government would do

The Attorney General would be required, if funding is available, to establish the Green Alert communications network inside the Department of Justice. The network would be intended to support search efforts for missing veterans by helping states create and use local Green Alert plans.

The bill also requires the Justice Department to:

• designate a national Green Alert Coordinator;
• work with states and tribes to encourage more Green Alert plans;
• develop voluntary guidelines for how states should structure their plans;
• create suggested protocols for responding to missing veteran cases;
• set up an advisory board made up of stakeholders such as veteran groups, law enforcement, broadcasters, first responders, and public agencies;
• coordinate with other federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Transportation, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Department of the Interior;
• report to Congress each year on how the system is working.

How the alerts would work

The bill says the federal coordinator would set minimum standards for when alerts should be issued and how widely they should be shared. Those standards would be voluntary for states, not mandatory.

The bill also says alerts should, when practical:

• be coordinated with existing AMBER Alert systems and other state alert systems;
• be limited to the geographic area the missing veteran could reasonably reach;
• include relevant information about the veteran’s special needs, including health care needs, shared with appropriate officials;
• protect privacy, dignity, and sensitive medical information;
• avoid overuse so that the public does not become less responsive to alerts.

Training and support

The bill would require the coordinator to provide training, educational materials, and other assistance to states, tribes, local governments, law enforcement, broadcasters, dispatchers, and first responders. This could include help setting up new Green Alert systems, integrating them into existing alert systems, and funding a full-time state Green Alert coordinator.

Funding

The bill authorizes $3 million to carry out the program. States that receive assistance would need to submit a Green Alert plan that includes how they will coordinate with other alert systems and work with tribal governments.

Relevant Companies
