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. The resolution emphasizes the federal trust responsibility to assist Indian nations and tribes in providing public safety and justice, noting that current funding levels are insufficient to meet the needs of tribal justice systems.

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 encourages tribal governments to adopt their own resolutions urging Congress for funding and requests that the Governor of Montana write a supportive letter to Congress. Additionally, the Secretary of State is tasked with collecting these resolutions and communications to send to Congress by June 30, 2025, ensuring a unified request for increased funding for law enforcement and public safety on Montana's Indian reservations.
