Southeastern Mvskoke Nation; authorization to hire a police officer

Summary

The bill lets the tribe employ certified law‑enforcement officers to protect reservation property, residents and employees. These officers have the same arrest powers as state police while on tribal land, but may act off‑reservation only when pursuing suspects or arresting felons. No state or local law‑enforcement money can be used to fund them.
