AN ACT TO REPEAL SECTION 2141 OF THE REVISED
STATUTES TO REMOVE THE PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN
ALCOHOL MANUFACTURING ON INDIAN LANDS
NOVEMBER 14, 2018.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. HOEVEN, from the Committee on Indian Affairs,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 5317]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Indian Affairs, to which was referred the bill
(H.R. 5317) to repeal section 2141 of the Revised Statutes to re-
move the prohibition on certain alcohol manufacturing on Indian
lands, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with-
out amendment and recommends the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of H.R. 5317 is to repeal section 2141 of the Revised
Statutes to remove the prohibition on certain alcohol manufac-
turing on Indian lands.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
H.R. 5317, repeals an 1834 federal law prohibiting the establish-
ment and operation of alcohol distilleries in Indian Country.1 The
1834 law was one of the Indian Trade and Intercourse Acts enacted
in the 18th and 19th centuries. The purpose of these laws were to
regulate non-Indian interaction with individual Indians and Indian
tribes on tribal lands. While the operation of the Indian Trade and
Intercourse Acts have been repealed or superseded by subsequent
laws, several of them-including 25 U.S.C. § 251-remain in effect
today.
125 U.S.C. § 251.
