| 5.__Child missing from interim care.__If a child in the custody of |
the Department of Human Services whose permanent residence is believed to |
be located in this State has been placed in interim care that includes |
temporary shelter for a period of 60 days or less and the child becomes a |
missing child, the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction where the |
temporary shelter is located is responsible for the initial investigation |
of the missing child report and entering a juvenile in the missing |
persons file as required by subsection 2.__After the child has been a |
missing child for at least 48 hours, but no more than 60 days, if the |
chief administrative officer of the law enforcement agency having initial |
jurisdiction or that chief administrative officer's designee determines |
that it is in the best interest of finding the child, that law |
enforcement agency may transfer responsibility for the investigation and |
the entry of additional information as required by subsection 4 to the |
law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the location in this |
State that is believed to be the permanent residence of the missing |
child.__The transferring law enforcement agency shall modify the entry |
required by subsection 2 by changing the originating agency identifier to |
that of the law enforcement agency to which the responsibility for |
investigation is transferred.__This subsection is repealed July 1, 2005. |
