Summary

Adds Tribal entities and Tribal law to two existing federal statutes so Tribal authorities are explicitly included in listed authorities and covered laws. One change is editorial (adding connector words); the other expands references from "Federal or State" to "Federal, State, or Tribal," clarifying that Tribal law and Tribal entities are included. The bill makes no new funding authorizations and primarily updates statutory language to reduce ambiguity about the applicability of certain federal protections and authorities to Tribal governments and Tribal law enforcement.

• Explicitly adds "Tribal" to two federal statutes so Tribal entities and Tribal law are included in enumerated lists.
• One amendment is largely editorial (connector words) to improve sentence flow and clarity.
• Changes "Federal or State law" to "Federal, State, or Tribal law," expanding the list of applicable legal authorities.
• Primarily clarifies statutory language; it does not create new programs or appropriate funds.
• Directly affects Tribal governments, Tribal law enforcement, and Tribal courts by naming them in the statutes.
• Likely low administrative burden: agencies will update guidance and references rather than implement new systems.
• May reduce legal ambiguity in cross-jurisdictional situations involving Tribal authority.
• Does not include earmarks, tax changes, emergency designations, or unfunded mandates.
