Rep. Yakym Introduces HAILEY Act in Honor of Indiana Teenager to Strengthen Missing Child Alerts Legislation would empower law enforcement to issue AMBER Alerts for minors believed to be high-risk missing persons.
Introduce the HAILEY Act to strengthen missing child alerts and empower law enforcement to issue AMBER Alerts for minors believed to be high-risk missing persons.
Occurrences
Evidence
Yakym's official House website listed a June 11, 2026 news item stating that he introduced the HAILEY Act, short for the High-risk Alert Improvement for Locating Endangered Youth Act, to strengthen missing child alerts and empower law enforcement to issue AMBER Alerts for minors believed to be high-risk missing persons.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to introduce the HAILEY Act. Evidence from Yakym's official House office states he introduced the bill on June 11, 2026, matching the promised action. Because the promised deliverable was bill introduction rather than enactment, this counts as fulfilled in his current term.
