Alabama Indian Affairs Commission; commission authority and membership revised, additional tribes recognized

HB 222 increases the Alabama Indian Affairs Commission from seven to eleven tribal representatives, recognizing two additional tribes for membership. It expands the commission's authority to seek state funding alongside federal grants and sets salary and qualification requirements for the executive director. The bill also prevents the commission from being forced to share tribal records with membership organizations. These changes update the commission's structure and operations while maintaining its focus on supporting Alabama's tribal communities through policy coordination and resource access.
