Peace officers: tribal police.

The entire MMIP Task Force provision is removed. This would have required the California Highway Patrol, in coordination with the Department of Justice, to establish and administer a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Person Task Force for statewide coordination of MMIP investigations, including logistical support, interagency agreements with tribes, and activation authority for tribal governments and investigating agencies.

The act description no longer references adding Article 2.41 (commencing with Section 11071) to the Penal Code, reflecting the removal of the MMIP Task Force article.

Minor grammatical and stylistic cleanups throughout, including fixing duplicated words (e.g., 'when if' to 'if', 'any a' to 'a'), correcting pronoun references ('their' to 'its'), and adjusting phrasing in the legislative counsel's digest.

The Tribal Police Pilot Program is renamed the Tribal Police Program and made permanent by removing the July 1, 2029 end date. Section 11073(a) now reads 'to operate, commencing July 1, 2026' with no expiration.

All references to 'pilot program' throughout the bill are changed to 'program' or 'Tribal Police Program,' reflecting the transition from a temporary pilot to a standing program.

The prior digest described provisions authorizing participating tribes to establish domestic violence death review teams and to enter into agreements to share liability on MMIP cases. These paragraphs no longer appear in the amended digest, suggesting those provisions were removed from the bill.

Section 830.83(d), which provided that the section would remain in effect only until July 1, 2032 and then be repealed, is entirely deleted. Tribal peace officer authority under this section is now indefinite.

Section 832.55(f), which provided that the certification requirements section would remain in effect only until January 1, 2032 and then be repealed, is entirely deleted.

Various grammatical and drafting corrections throughout, including changing 'they wish' to 'it wishes,' 'their' to 'its,' renumbering of sections, and minor punctuation fixes.

The Tribal Police Pilot Program is renamed to the Tribal Police Program and its end date of July 1, 2029 is removed, making the program indefinite rather than a three-year pilot.

A new Article 2.41 (Section 11071) establishes a Missing and Murdered Indigenous Person (MMIP) Task Force under the California Highway Patrol in coordination with the Department of Justice, responsible for statewide coordination, investigation, and response to MMIP cases.

Eligibility is expanded from the department selecting 3 tribal entities to participate to allowing all federally recognized tribes to participate in the program.

The MMIP Task Force must prioritize development of memoranda of understanding and cooperative agreements with federally recognized Indian tribes and tribal law enforcement agencies, and may enter agreements for information sharing and coordination on MMIP cases.

Language in tribal requirements is changed from 'conclusion of the pilot program' to 'conclusion of the pilot participation in the program,' allowing individual tribes to exit while the overall program continues indefinitely.

A tribal government or investigating agency may activate the MMIP Task Force when a Feather Alert has been issued for a missing indigenous person, and an investigating law enforcement agency or tribal government may activate it in the case of a homicide of an indigenous person.

The Tribal Police Pilot Fund is renamed to the Tribal Police Fund, consistent with the program no longer being a pilot.

Sections 830.83 and 832.55 are now amended rather than added, and Section 11073.6 is renumbered while Section 11073.5 is repealed, reflecting that core provisions were already enacted in a prior legislative session.

Section 11073(c)(2) adds a reference to Government Code Section 1030 alongside existing references to Sections 1029, 1031, and 1031.4.
