Bill Summary
A BILL To clarify the rights of Indians and Indian Tribes on Indian lands under the National Labor Relations Act.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act of 2025, aims to clarify the rights of Native Americans and their tribes concerning labor relations on tribal lands by amending the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Specifically, it proposes to include "any Indian tribe, or any enterprise or institution owned and operated by an Indian tribe and located on its Indian lands" within the definition of entities covered by the NLRA, alongside existing references to political subdivisions of states. The bill also defines key terms such as "Indian tribe" as any recognized Native American group eligible for federal services, "Indian" as a member of an Indian tribe, and "Indian lands" to encompass lands within reservations, lands held in trust by the U.S. for tribes or individuals, and certain lands in Oklahoma within former reservation boundaries.
