A bill to amend the Grand Ronde Reservation Act to address the hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community, and for other purposes.

This bill amends the Grand Ronde Reservation Act to clarify and protect the hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community. It ensures the existing Grand Ronde Hunting and Fishing Agreement remains in effect until replaced by new government-to-government agreements between the tribe and Oregon, while prohibiting any new agreement from limiting tribal rights, treaty obligations, or affecting other tribes' rights. All rights under new agreements must derive solely from Oregon's authority, and courts must review challenges to the 1987 Consent Decree on their merits without using legal doctrines that prevent re-litigation. The bill directly affects tribal members and the State of Oregon by preserving tribal sovereignty over these rights.
