Seneca Nation could block New York jurisdiction
This bill would let the Seneca Nation of Indians exclude New York law from some of its lands. It would apply only to Seneca land that is "Indian country" as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. The U.S. Attorney General and the Seneca Nation would both have to give written concurrence before New York's jurisdiction under the 1948 law would stop applying to those lands. The Attorney General would have to consult in advance with the Seneca Nation and New York State before giving such concurrence.
