 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Suzanne's Law - Amends the Crime Control Act of 1990 to require each State reporting under provisions of the Act regarding missing children to ensure that no law enforcement agency within the State establishes or maintains any policy that requires the observance of any waiting period before accepting a missing youth report.

Defines "missing youth" as anyone between 18 and 21 years of age whose whereabouts are unknown and who is physically or mentally disabled, who may be in the company of another person under circumstances indicating that such individual's physical safety is in danger, or whose disappearance is surrounded by circumstances that indicate that the disappearance may have been involuntary.
