A bill to amend the Grand Ronde Reservation Act to address the hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering activities of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community, and for other purposes.
This bill amends the Grand Ronde Reservation Act to clarify the legal framework for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community's hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights in Oregon. It specifies that the existing Grand Ronde Hunting and Fishing Agreement remains in effect until replaced by a new government-to-government agreement between the tribe and Oregon, which cannot limit tribal rights or treaty claims. The bill also requires that all rights under future agreements derive solely from Oregon's authority and changes court procedures to allow direct review of challenges to the agreement without using legal defenses like res judicata. This directly affects the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde and Oregon's management of wildlife resources.
