Sponsored By: Representative Norman, Ralph [R-SC-5]
Passed House
Summary
Removes the lineal-descent and political-relation requirement for future enrollment in the Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina. The bill would strike the sentence in section 7(d) of the Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993 that limited membership to lineal descendants on the final base membership roll who maintained political relations with the Tribe. It does not set new enrollment criteria, add funding, or change the rest of the 1993 Act.
