have direct access to the system.
    (2)  If the local law enforcement agency has reason to believe that a
missing or runaway child is enrolled in an Idaho elementary or secondary
school, it shall notify that school of the report, at which time the school
shall flag the missing child's record pursuant to section 18-4511, Idaho Code.
    (3)  The Idaho state police shall report the entries made by local law
enforcement in the national crime information center to the state registrar.
Upon learning of the return of a missing or runaway child, the Idaho state
police shall so notify the state registrar of this state if the child was born
in Idaho, or the appropriate officer in the state where the child was born,
and the school informed under the provisions of subsection (2) of this
section.
    (4)  The Idaho state police shall by rule determine the frequency, manner
and form of notices and reports required by this act.
    (5)  Immediately after a missing or runaway child is returned, the law
enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the investigation shall clear the
entry from the national crime information center computer.
