AB 1321: Department of Justice: online missing person registry.
What AB 1321 does, verified February 3, 2026
The proposed law aims to enhance the prevention and investigation of crimes related to missing persons. It requires the establishment of an online, automated computer system that responds immediately to reports of missing persons, which would accept and generate specific information on missing individuals. Additionally, the law proposes the creation of an electronic database and support system for the public to report and search for missing children. The system would also include free DNA testing for parents who are reunited with their children to confirm parentage.
