Seneca Nation Law Enforcement Efficiency Act

HR 7065 would remove New York State's legal authority to enforce laws on Seneca Nation reservations, but only with written agreement from both the U.S. Attorney General and the Seneca Nation. This procedural bill modifies a 1948 federal law (25 U.S.C. 232) that previously granted New York jurisdiction over tribal lands. It directly affects law enforcement jurisdiction on Seneca Nation reservations by shifting authority to the tribe, contingent on specific written consents.
