It seeks to clarify the responsibilities of federal, state, tribal, and local governments with respect to crimes com- mitted in Indian Country. The bill extends authorization of the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 until 2021, while also improving justice for tribal youth. The bill, S. 2920, contains other provisions to develop justice within Indian Country. NEED FOR LEGISLATION Based on testimony received at the Committee on Indian Affairs' hearings, roundtables, and meetings, since passage of the TLOA, crime rates have diminished, but the overall levels still remain 69-010
