Bill > S3041

This bill, known as the Tribal Warrant Fairness Act, modifies existing federal law to expand the U.S. Marshals Service's authority to assist Indian Tribes in criminal matters. Specifically, the bill amends two sections of federal law to explicitly include Tribal law enforcement in the Marshals Service's responsibilities. The first amendment to Section 566 of Title 28 allows U.S. Marshals to help with Tribal fugitive matters when requested by an Indian Tribe, and adds "Tribal" to the list of jurisdictions where Marshals can provide support. The second amendment to the Presidential Threat Protection Act broadens the law's language to include Indian Tribes in provisions related to law enforcement cooperation and expands the definition of enforceable law to include Tribal law. These changes effectively recognize Tribal law enforcement as equivalent to federal and state law enforcement, giving Indian Tribes more direct access to federal law enforcement resources and support in handling criminal warrants and fugitive cases.
