Resolution urging Congress to fully fund law enforcement in Indian Country

This Montana joint resolution urges the U.S. Congress to fully fund law enforcement, public safety, and justice programs on the state's Indian reservations. It calls on federal agencies to coordinate efforts between the Departments of Justice and the Interior, conduct government-to-government consultations with tribes, and allocate sufficient resources for tribal courts, detention facilities, and victim services. The bill also invites tribal governments and the state governor to submit their own resolutions and letters supporting full funding, which will be compiled and sent to Congress and federal officials by June 30, 2025.
