                                    S.381
      A  bill to repeal the Act entitled An  Act to confer jurisdiction
on the State  of Iowa over  offenses committed   by  or against Indians  on the
                      Sac and  Fox  Indian  Reservation

   As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on March 29, 2017


S. 381 would repeal a 1948 law that gave the state of Iowa jurisdiction over criminal
offenses committed by or against Indians on the Sac and Fox Indian Reservation; thus
criminal jurisdiction would revert to either the Sac and Fox Nation or the federal
government.

As a result of the repeal, the Sac and Fox Nation would be eligible for funding from the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to equip and run its existing tribal court, law enforcement
operations, and detention facility. The amount of such funding would depend on how much
assistance the tribe would request after enactment. Based on information from BIA reports
on the funding provided to tribes of a similar size, CBO estimates that the tribe would be
eligible for up to $7 million a year in assistance; that spending would be subject to
appropriations. However, based on testimony and public statements from BIA and the tribe
about the amount of assistance the tribe intends to apply for, CBO estimates that
implementing S. 381 would have no significant federal cost over the 2018-2022 period.

Enacting S. 381 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase
net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2028.

S. 381 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates  Reform Act.

The CBO  staff contact for this estimate is Robert Reese. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
