Hoeven Co-sponsor Savannah's Act

Senator John Hoeven, chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, today released the following statement after Savanna’s Act was reintroduced by Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.). Hoeven is an original cosponsor of the legislation.

“Savanna’s Act is legislation that will help the federal government better coordinate with tribal law enforcement in addressing the crisis of murdered and missing Native women and girls,” Hoeven said. “One of my priorities as Indian Affairs chairman is to improve public safety in tribal communities, and this legislation is part of these efforts and dovetails with other legislation I reintroduced that will reauthorize and increase resources for tribal governments and law enforcement.”
