Bill > HB208

This bill extends the "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force" in New Mexico until the end of fiscal year 2022. The task force is responsible for studying how to increase state resources for reporting and identifying missing and murdered indigenous women, collaborating with tribal law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Department of Justice to address this issue, and reporting its findings and policy recommendations to the governor and legislature. The bill also appropriates $50,000 from the general fund to the Indian Affairs Department to cover the task force's expenses for fiscal years 2021 and 2022, and declares an emergency to ensure the bill takes effect immediately.
