This Legislation adds new sections to the State-Tribal Relations
Act, Title 67, Ch. 40 IC. It creates a 10-member council on Indian
Affairs consisting of five members representing the five tribal
governments in Idaho and five members from state government. Of the
state representatives, one is appointed by the Governor, two by the
Senate and two by the House. The representatives selected by the
tribes are each to be a member of their respective tribal council
and appointed by the tribal chairman, subject to the consent of the
tribal council.

The tribal governments and the state government will share the
burden of operational expenses and staffing. The council would
monitor and review legislation and state policies which impact
state/tribal relations and advise the Governor, legislature, and
state agencies with respect to issues involving state and tribal
relations.



                            FISCAL NOTE

Approximately $4,000 for the State's share of expenses, staffing and
per diem compensation for legislative members of the council.
