The subsection may not be read to cut into Tribal rights or consultation
What the document says“impact the rights of any Indian Tribe (as defined in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304)) in effect on the date of enactment of the Alaska's Right to Ivory Sales and Tradition Act”
Two things the new subsection may not be construed to do. The first is quoted here: to impact the rights of any Indian Tribe, as that term is defined in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304), that were in effect on the date of enactment. The Act was approved June 12, 2026, so that is the date the rights are measured at. The second, at subparagraph (B), is to undermine any government-to-government consultation or engagement.
What the document actually says“impact the rights of any Indian Tribe (as defined in section 4 of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304)) in effect on the date of enactment of the Alaska's Right to Ivory Sales and Tradition Act”
This part does not touch the rights a Tribe already had. The rights counted are the ones in place the day this law passed.
The law points to another law for what a Tribe is. That law is the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. This law passed on June 12, 2026. A second line says it does not weaken talks between a Tribe and the government.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
