INDIANA (NBC) - A 14 News update on a bill that would establish a new alert system in Indiana for missing adults.  

The Silver Alert bill passed the state Senate unanimously Monday.

The alerts would be similar to Amber Alerts, which are issued by police and broadcast by media outlets and put on web sites.

At least 10 states have implemented their own missing person notification system, including Kentucky.

The bill now moves to the Indiana House for consideration.
