The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)Indigenous people experience high rates of violence and are reported missing or are murdered at high rates. A 2016 study by the National Institute of Justice found that more than four in five American Indian and Alaska Native adults have experienced some form of violence in their lifetime.
(b)Indigenous women, girls, and people are disproportionately affected by domestic violence, human trafficking, and murder, and become missing at much higher rates than people of other racial groups.
(c)The Urban Indian Health Institute conducted various studies and found there to be over 5,700 cases of missing and murdered indigenous women, but only 116 of the women in the cases were placed on the United States Department of Justices missing persons list. In 2020, the Sovereign Bodies Institute found that only 165 missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit were reported across California. The amount of cases reported makes California one of the top five states with the highest number of cases. The report was funded and coauthored by the Yurok Tribe.
(d)As California has the largest population of Native Americans out of any state in the United States, the Legislature intends to address the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous people to ensure that it is a priority at every level.
(e)In June 2019, several stakeholders requested an audit of the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act in an effort to better inform future decisionmaking in mental health treatment and care. The audit supported that the use of an alert system, such as the Amber Alert, encourages the participation between law enforcement agencies, local resources, including tribal resources, and the media to engage in a comprehensive protocol for a missing person. It also allows for an effective time-critical response to abductors who can disappear with an individual quickly.
(f)The Legislature intends to provide law enforcement with additional tools to disseminate timely, accurate information to engage the public more effectively in assisting with locating missing indigenous people and to compensate for the unique challenges that indigenous communities face in accessing media coverage and the ability to share information.
(g)The goal of the Feather Alert System is to engage with law enforcement agencies to notify the public when an indigenous person is kidnapped.
