Colorado Lawmakers Hear Testimony From Indigenous People About Treatment Following A Crime
A new bill would add elements to the recently created Office of Liaison for Missing or Murdered Indigenous Relatives.
On Monday, several Native leaders and supporters testified at the Senate Judiciary Committee in support of SB23-054. The bill would add elements to the recently created Office of Liaison for Missing or Murdered Indigenous Relatives, which was formed under SB 22-150 last year.
