S. 2159 would repeal a law enacted in 1946 that gave the state of North Dakota jurisdiction
over crimes committed by or against Indians on the Devils Lake Indian Reservation. Under
current law, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) provides assistance to the tribe for law
enforcement and detention services. Because enacting S. 2159 would not affect the amount
of assistance the tribe is receiving from BIA, CBO estimates that implementing S. 2159
would have no cost to the federal government.

The bill also would prohibit the state of North Dakota from exercising jurisdiction over
crimes committed by or against Indians on the Devil's Lake Indian Reservation. That
prohibition would be a mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
CBO  estimates that the cost of the mandate, in the form of forgone monetary penalties,
would be minimal and would  not exceed the threshold established in UMRA ($82 million in
2019, adjusted annually for inflation).

S. 2159 contains no private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA.

The CBO   staff contact for this estimate is Jon Sperl (for federal costs) and Rachel Austin (for
mandates). The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director
for Budget Analysis.
