PROTECT Act of 2025

This bill gives certain tribal governments more power to investigate and prosecute crimes that happen on tribal land. Right now, participating tribes can handle cases involving crimes like domestic violence, sexual violence, and stalking, but this bill adds drug-related crimes and certain firearms offenses to that list. It also lets tribes prosecute these new crimes even when neither the person accused nor the victim is a tribal member. On top of that, the bill gives tribal courts the same ability as state courts to require phone and internet companies to hand over stored electronic communications when a warrant or court order is issued.
