The first AMBER Alert trial was run in 1996 at KRLD Radio Studio at the Ball Park in Arlington, TX. Those in attendance were Rick Roberts, Richard Hagerman and Bruce Seybert. Seybert worked with Amber's parents from day one, calling for what was later named the AMBER Alert, based on what Mark Klaas had told Amber's father what needed to be done on the day of his daughter's abduction. He released the AMBER Alert at a media symposium. In October 2000, the United States House of Representatives adopted H.R. 605 which encouraged communities nationwide to implement the AMBER Plan. In April 2003, President George W. Bush signed the AMBER Alert legislation, making it a national program. While the AMBER Alert system is now mandated across the USA, some states are still trying to implement the procedures necessary in bringing the alerts to the public.[citation needed] Hampered by outdated Emergency Broadcast guidelines and different activation criteria in each state, the system is still being developed to provide optimal effectiveness.
