Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and Dianne Feinstein proposed the AMBER Alert legislation. AMBER is an acronym for America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response, but it was named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas in 1996.

A primary source of a bill is the official text of the proposed legislation itself, which is typically introduced in a legislative body such as Congress or a state legislature. This document outlines the bill's provisions, purpose, and scope, and serves as the foundation for discussion, amendments, and voting. Additionally, accompanying materials like legislative analysis, committee reports, or sponsor statements may provide context but are considered secondary sources.
