Compensable Losses for Tribal Members

Changed eligibility for traditional Native American healing ceremony expenses from 'enrolled members of a federally recognized tribe' to 'persons who are Indigenous as defined in Section 24-33.5-2601'.

Added reimbursement for 'honoraria' provided in connection with ceremonial services.

Modified the list of compensable healing practices to replace specific examples like 'sweat lodge' and 'giveaway' with the broader term 'traditional ceremonial practices'.

Added new co-sponsors to the Senate and House sponsorship lists.

Updated the bill summary header to indicate it applies to the unamended version and added a note about the upcoming reengrossed summary.

Added a date stamp indicating the bill was amended on February 9, 2026.

Changed the header text from 'INTRODUCED' to 'ENGROSSED' to reflect the bill's current legislative stage.
