Congressman Courtney press conference
on legislation he has co-sponsored.
The Recovering Missing Children Act of 2011

Picture from patch.com

The Recovering Missing Children Act is a bill that would extensively assist in the investigation and recovery of missing or abducted children. Every year, over 200,000 children are abducted by members of their own family. A study by the US Treasury Department found that in one third of cases, a tax return is filed using the missing child’s Social Security number. This information could lead to the recovery of the missing child. Unfortunately, a conflicting US code prevents most requests from federal judges to issue an ex parte order, which would allow law enforcement to access these tax returns, from being approved.

This legislation would amend the Internal Revenue Code to add the case of a missing child to the list of exceptions allowing the release of IRS tax return information upon receiving a court order. As with any missing person case, every bit of information is crucial and this legislation has the ability to assist law enforcement a great deal
