Bill > HR1723

This bill proposes to modify the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) by clarifying how labor laws apply to Native American tribes and their enterprises. Specifically, the bill would amend the definition of "employer" to explicitly include Indian tribes and any enterprises or institutions owned and operated by an Indian tribe that are located on their tribal lands. The bill provides precise definitions for key terms, including "Indian tribe" (defined as any recognized Native American group eligible for special federal programs), "Indian" (an individual member of an Indian tribe), and "Indian lands" (which encompasses lands within Indian reservations, lands held in trust by the United States for Native Americans, and certain lands in Oklahoma within former reservation boundaries). By making these changes, the bill aims to provide greater clarity and sovereignty to Native American tribes in their labor relations, ensuring that they have more control over employment practices on their own lands and within their own economic enterprises.
