An Act To Restore Access To Federal Laws Beneficial To The Wabanaki Nations

Summary

The act amends state law so that federal statutes and regulations that benefit Indian tribes automatically apply to the Passamaquoddy Nation, overriding any conflicting state law except where state health or safety rules are needed to fill a gap. It creates a notice process with the Attorney General for disputes and limits tribal gaming to state‑approved rules. The change is intended to give the tribe fuller access to federal protections.
