Grand Ronde Tribal Hunting and Fishing Rights: New Rules
This bill updates the rules for hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community. It aims to ensure existing agreements remain valid unless replaced by new agreements between the Tribe and the State of Oregon. Importantly, no new agreements can infringe upon or expand the rights of other Indian Tribes.
Key points
Confirms that current hunting and fishing agreements for the Grand Ronde Tribe remain in effect.
Allows for new agreements between the Tribe and the State of Oregon on these rights, but with safeguards to prevent impact on other tribal rights.
Any future rights from new agreements will solely derive from the State of Oregon's authority.
Federal courts can review applications to change prior judgments on these rights without certain legal barriers.
