House passes Indian lands jurisdiction bill
The House approved a measure to grant tribal courts jurisdiction over misdemeanors on tribal lands by Indians from other tribes. Rep. Bill Richardson said the bill fixes a jurisdictional void left after the 1990 Supreme Court ruling in Duro vs Reina. The bill, sent to the Senate, would make permanent the temporary law reaffirming tribal policing authority on reservations.
