To amend the Grand Ronde Reservation Act to address the hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community, and for other purposes.

This bill allows the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the state of Oregon to negotiate changes to their agreement about tribal hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights. Currently, a 1987 court order determines these rights, but this bill would let an older 1986 agreement control instead until the tribe and Oregon agree on something new. The bill lets them go back to federal court to change or end the 1987 court order. Any new agreement cannot affect other tribal rights or be used in court cases to change treaty rights.
