Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) signed into law a bill that creates a new category of alerts for missing Native Americans in New Mexico.

Senate Bill 41 authorizes the creation of a turquoise alert, which would activate in the event of a missing person who is “an enrolled member, or a person eligible for enrollment in a federally recognized Indian nation, tribe or pueblo.” The “turquoise alert” would be similar to amber alerts, which are used for alerting child abductions.
