So this basically has us adopt an alert system to help find missing senior citizens, the federal government is also going to cover the costs of this afaik, so the net cost here is zero, so it seems like a common sense thing to do

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

seems pretty straightforward

[Brother Jonathan]

If the cost is covered then I can't see any reason we shouldn't pass it.

This costs nothing, regardless of whether the grants were submitted or not, from my reading, the region would not be paying for this.
