The proposed bill aims to amend the North Dakota Century Code by creating a new section in chapter 54-36 that focuses on the review of legislation introduced by the Indian Affairs Commission and the requirement for tribal consultation. The bill replaces the term "legislative measures" with "legislation" and establishes a process for the director of the Indian Affairs Commission to review all introduced legislation during each legislative session to determine if it pertains to matters with tribal implications.

If the director identifies a bill with tribal implications, they are mandated to consult with the tribal chairpersons of each tribe. The bill defines "consult" as an interactive process involving tribal governments in policy development, ensuring their input is considered integral to decision-making. Additionally, it clarifies that "matters with tribal implications" refer to legislation that significantly affects tribal nations within the state or the distribution of power between state and tribal governments.
