On This Date in Minnesota History: July 1

July 1, 2009 – Brandon’s Law goes into effect in Minnesota. It is named after 19-year-old Brandon Swanson who disappeared in May 2008. Because he was considered an adult at the time of his disappearance, the search didn't have to start as quickly as a search for a missing child. This legislation “does away with waiting periods when adults disappear.

“Minnesota's old law used to be called the Minnesota Missing Child Program, requiring law enforcement agencies to start searches for missing children immediately. In 'Brandon's Law,' the word child is replaced with the word, person, allowing crews to start searching for adults who are in danger just as fast as children.”
