(KMOV) - Missouri State Legislators are expanding the Amber Alert System to protect more people.

Senators passed a new bill that will broaden the program to cover missing adults who are dependent on others.

The bill will also cover missing adults in danger.

The current system limits Amber Alerts to children under 17 years of age.
