SB 4: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Justice Program.
This bill establishes a missing and murdered indigenous persons justice program within the Department of Justice. The program is responsible for facilitating collaboration between tribal victims' families, tribal governments, and law enforcement agencies regarding active and inactive cases involving missing and murdered indigenous persons in California. The program acts as a liaison between these parties and works to improve communication and investigation of these cases. The program must submit an annual report to the legislature, which includes data on the number of cases and facts about missing and murdered indigenous persons in California. The program's work is focused on human trafficking cases, and its efforts are intended to improve justice and support for victims' families.
