Summary
The bill would nullify the application of a 1948 federal law that granted the State of New York criminal and civil jurisdiction over the reservations of the Seneca Nation of Indians. Under the bill, that state jurisdiction would not apply on Seneca reservations, but only with the written concurrence of both the U.S. Attorney General and the Seneca Nation. The bill text is limited to this jurisdictional change and does not specify which governing authority would assume the enforcement or adjudication roles.
