The bill amends Section 150.12A-1 of the Oklahoma Statutes to enhance the state's response to the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous persons. It removes the requirement for the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) to obtain federal funding and grants by a specific date, allowing the OSBI to focus on coordinating efforts and gathering data without the constraints of federal funding timelines. The bill establishes the creation of an Office of Liaison for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons within the OSBI, which will be staffed by individuals with significant experience working with tribal communities.

The newly formed Office will collaborate with various law enforcement agencies, develop best practices for responding to missing persons reports involving American Indian individuals, and assist families and tribal agencies in utilizing resources like the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs). Additionally, the Office will provide guidance to victims' families, coordinate training on related issues, and consult with community organizations to foster better relations and practices. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
