This joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urges the United States Congress to fully fund public safety and law enforcement agencies, programs, services, and activities within Montana's Indian reservations. It highlights the ongoing issues of drug and alcohol abuse, violent crime, and the high rates of victimization among Native Americans in these areas, which have been exacerbated by insufficient federal funding for tribal public safety initiatives. The resolution emphasizes the federal trust responsibility to assist Indian nations and tribes in maintaining law and order and delivering justice.

The resolution calls for several actions, including the development of a cooperative plan by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior to administer public safety programs in Indian Country. It also invites tribal governments to adopt their own resolutions urging Congress for funding and requests that Governor Gianforte write a supportive letter to Congress. Both the tribal resolutions and the Governor's letter are to be collected and forwarded to Congress by June 30, 2025, along with this resolution, to advocate for the necessary funding to address the public safety needs of Montana's Indian reservations.
