§5703 Improving Tribal access to databases

Summary

The Attorney General must train law enforcement on how to enter a victim’s Tribal enrollment or Tribal affiliation, when appropriate, into federal databases. Within 180 days after October 10, 2020, the Attorney General, working with the Secretary of the Interior, must finish a formal consultation with Indian Tribes and must meet with Tribal organizations and urban Indian organizations about making Tribal data more useful and easier to access. By that same deadline the Attorney General must also create and carry out a public education plan about the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUS) and reach out to Tribes and Tribal groups about how families and others can publicly add missing-person information through NamUS or another non-law-enforcement public portal.
