SUZANNE'S LAW

In 2003 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.

The federal law is named after Suzanne Lyall, a State University of New York at Albany student who has been missing since 1998.
