Seneca Nation Law Enforcement Efficiency Act

This bill would end the criminal jurisdiction that a 1948 federal law gave the State of New York over the land of the Seneca Nation of Indians. The change would apply only to Seneca Nation land that counts as Indian country under federal law. It would take effect only if both the U.S. Attorney General and the Seneca Nation agree in writing. Before agreeing, the Attorney General would have to consult with both the Seneca Nation and the State of New York.
