Henny Scott was known as a loving, funny, and talented girl on the Northern Cheyenne reservation. In December of 2018, she went missing while she was hanging out with friends until she was found dead two weeks later. We spoke with her parents to learn more about Henny and how the family has moved forward since their loss.

LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS:
Senate Bill 4 which aimed to extend the state’s Missing Indigenous Persons task force passed through the senate with 41 yes votes and 9 no votes. The bill then went to the House Judiciary committee – which passed the bill with the amendments added. Now the bill will go back before the full House chamber for a second reading.: https://bit.ly/3qBf0oN

Two other bills up in this session could directly impact the efforts to combat the missing and murdered Indigenous persons epidemic in Montana.

House Bill 35 and 36 were introduced by Representative Sharon Peregroy of Crow Agency.

HB 35 would establish a missing persons review commission. The language of the bill further outlines tasks for this commission, which includes educational efforts and strategizing to optimize those types of investigations. $85,000 is to be appropriated towards this effort from the state’s general fund.

HB 35 just recently passed through the House Judiciary committee with amendments and is scheduled for a second reading by the committee.: https://bit.ly/3pJgKMz

HB 36 would establish a missing persons response team training grant program. Its purpose is to help fund training opportunities for community-based missing persons response teams. $61,000 is to be appropriated from the state’s general fund for this initiative.

HB 36 passed through the House with 100 Yes votes and has since been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. : https://bit.ly/2MOhce5
