TC on Possible Legislation of the Castro-Huerta Decision
Wednesday, February 5, 2025 (3:00 PM - 5:00 PM) (EST)
Description
UPDATED U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TRIBAL CONSULTATION ON POSSIBLE LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION IN OKLAHOMA V. CASTRO-HUERTA
The Department of Justice (Department) and the Department of the Interior held joint listening sessions on September 26-27, 2022, to discuss with Tribal representatives the implications of the Castro-Huerta decision and the impact on Tribal communities. During those discussions and in subsequent meetings Tribes and Tribal advocates have called on the executive branch to develop a legislative proposal that would restore the balance of jurisdiction that was in place before the Supreme Court’s decision in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta. We are pleased to invite you to participate in a virtual government-togovernment consultation on whether the Department should support such a proposal and, if so, what form the proposed legislation should take. A framing paper outlining issues for discussion and providing background information follows this letter. The Department initially announced consultation sessions for January 9 and 10, 2025, but must cancel the January 9 session in observance of the passing of former President Carter. The Department has added additional sessions to ensure sufficient opportunities to participate for those who wish to do so.
Please register for any or all of the following sessions:
- February 5, 2025, 3-5pm Eastern
- February 6, 2025, 3-5pm Eastern
Please note that you will be asked to provide your name, professional affiliation, and email when you register. If you have already registered and wish to update your submission you may either use the registration link or email OTJ@usdoj.gov with your updated registration request. These sessions will be closed to the press. We also welcome your written comments by March 6, 2025, which can be submitted either by email to OTJ@usdoj.gov or by mail to Office of Tribal Justice, U.S. Department of Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20530-0001.
