This concurrent resolution doesn't change any state law; instead, it's a formal message from South Dakota's legislature to the Trump-Vance administration urging them to maintain the Reagan-era policy of treating tribal nations as separate governments with whom the federal government negotiates directly. The resolution emphasizes that federal treaties with tribes are binding legal obligations that should be honored in the federal budget, particularly regarding healthcare, law enforcement, and economic support.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
