Bill overview
The BADGES for Native Communities Act aims to improve responses to missing, unidentified, and murdered Indigenous persons cases by strengthening data sharing, enhancing law enforcement practices, and providing mental health support. It requires the Department of Justice to establish a grant program for tribes to improve their response capabilities, the Department of the Interior to implement background checks for BIA law enforcement, and the GAO to conduct studies on evidence handling. Additionally, it creates a coordination program for counseling resources for BIA and Tribal law enforcement officers experiencing occupational stress.
