(vi) The law enforcement agency suspects, and can articulate, that the person reported as missing intended to lawfully flee; (vii) The person reported missing is being sought for reasons of harassment, stalking or retaliation;

(b) The primary jurisdiction for reporting a missing person shall be the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the most recent verifiable location of the missing person. If a verifiable last known location is not determined, the primary jurisdiction shall be the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the last known residential address of the missing person. Nothing in this subsection shall preclude or prohibit any other law enforcement agency from accepting a report of a missing person under this section.

(c) All missing person reports meeting the criteria for reporting under this section shall be entered into the relevant national, regional and state databases used by the law enforcement agency for the sharing of missing person reports.
