Utah bill aims to extend Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Task Force
A new bill in Utah's 2025 legislative session seeks to extend the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Task Force for two more years. The task force, initially set to end in November 2024, works to address the crisis of missing Indigenous individuals, especially women and girls. The bill focuses on building trust with tribal communities, improving law enforcement responses, and enhancing data sharing across jurisdictions.
