Alabama Indian Affairs Commission; commission authority and membership revised, additional tribes recognized

Summary

The bill enlarges the commission from seven to at least eleven members, giving two newly recognized tribes a seat and adding a non‑tribal at‑large member. It also authorizes the commission to apply for state appropriations, sets salary and eligibility rules for its executive director, and limits disclosure of certain tribal records. These changes aim to give Alabama’s Indian communities greater representation and resources.
