The Montana Senate on Thursday passed Senate Bill 4, which extends the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Task Force by two years.

The Montana Legislature created the Missing Indigenous Persons Task Force in 2019 with the passage of Senate Bill 312, known as the Looping in Native Communities (LINC) Act.

The bill passed on a 43-7 vote and will move to the Montana House of Representatives next, according to a news release. If passed, the bill will move to Gov. Greg Gianforte's desk.

The task force was created in 2019 with the passage of the Looping in Native Communities Act. The bill also created the Looping in Native Communities (LINC) network grant program, which provides funding to tribal colleges (and reservations without tribal colleges) for the creation of online databases that help law enforcement and families access information on missing people.
