Indian Tribe is inserted as a new subparagraph (B) in paragraph (13) of section 131, the paragraph renumbered here from paragraph (7), and the subparagraphs that were (B), (C) and (D) become (C), (D) and (E). What that paragraph is a list of is in the amended statute, which is not indexed here.

What this is about

The list sits in the old law. This law does not print it. So the site does not say what the list is for.

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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
