§3665a Office of Tribal Justice

Summary

Set up the Office of Tribal Justice inside the Department of Justice within 90 days after July 29, 2010. The Attorney General must give the office the staff and money it needs. The office must advise the Attorney General on treaty and trust issues with Indian tribes. It must be the main contact for federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations about Justice Department policies and about public safety and justice in Indian country. It must also work with other DOJ parts so they each have a clear process to consult tribal leaders in a timely, meaningful way when making rules or taking actions that affect trust responsibilities, treaty terms, tribal sovereignty, or other tribal interests.
