House Bill 1790 is now the âKasey Alertâ measure, named for Cherokee Nation citizen Kasey Russell, a former Tahlequah resident who went missing in July 2016. He was last seen in McAlester.
The bill, authored by Rep. Daniel Pae, R-Lawton, was assigned to the House Public Safety Committee on Feb. 2. It called for âAubrey Alertsâ for people who go missing but are neither children nor elderly. It referred to CN citizen Aubrey Dameron, a transgender woman who has been missing since March 2019.Â
âPae introduced the bill and immediately got feedback from lawmakers that they absolutely would not support the bill being named for a transgender person,â said Pam Smith, Dameronâs aunt.
