extends the Utah Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls Task Force another year and renames it to the Murdered and Missing Indigenous Relatives Task Force. It passed the House with a 69-5 vote and the Senate with a 27-2 vote.

The law that established the task force in 2020 included a sunset date of November 2023. However, members of the task force say additional time will allow them to better implement recommendations from a report currently being compiled about gender violence and safety of Indigenous women and girls in Utah. The report received $130,000 in funding from the Legislature and is being conducted by the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation.
