SB311

Montana SB311 enhances legislative understanding of state-tribal relations through training and reporting.

Montana SB311 mandates the legislative services division to provide legislators with information and training on Indian law, tribal entities, legal rights of tribal members, and social, economic, and cultural issues of tribes. The state director of Indian affairs and the state-tribal relations committee collaborate to make this training available. Additionally, the governor must convene a meeting annually with state agencies and tribal officials to discuss tribal concerns and potential solutions.
