§5703 Improving Tribal Access to Databases

Summary

The Attorney General must train law enforcement on how to record a victim’s Tribal enrollment or Tribal affiliation in federal databases. Not later than 180 days after October 10, 2020, the Attorney General, with the Secretary of the Interior, must finish a formal consultation with Indian Tribes and meet with Tribal organizations and urban Indian organizations about improving Tribal data access and relevance. By that same deadline the Attorney General must also create and run a public education plan about the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System and do outreach to Tribes and related groups about entering missing-person information publicly through NamUS or other non-law-enforcement portals, which can include family members and other known acquaintances.
