WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Gus M. Bilirakis (R-Fla.) introduced legislation that would establish a national grant program to help U.S. states and territories establish Silver Alert notification systems to locate missing individuals suffering from dementia-related illnesses.
The Silver Alert Grant Program Act of 2008 would establish a grant program within the Department of Justice to allow states with an approved application to obtain federal funding for the establishment of Silver Alert programs or to make improvements to existing ones.
