New 'alert' for missing, vulnerable individuals being discussed in Utah legislative session

A bill introduced by Senator Jen Plum in the 2026 Utah Legislative General Session focuses on the creation of a 'purple alert' in Utah. S.B. 128 would create "the Purple Alert Notification System, to be implemented and administered by the Department of Public Safety, to assist with locating missing and endangered vulnerable individuals in certain circumstances." Essentially, the Purple Alert would resemble the 'Silver Alert', focusing on local outreach via highway signage for an individual who meets the criteria for a vulnerable individual. 2News spoke with Lee Perry, who helped bring the 'Silver Alert' system to Utah as a State Representative. _______________ Hit the subscribe button to stay up-to-date on the latest news, and turn on the notifications to get alerted when the big stories break as we bring them to you live!
