Plain-language change summary

The amendment modifies the bill by adding references to specific laws and clarifying definitions related to Indian lands and tribes, which aligns with definitions in existing legislation. Additionally, it specifies the reporting requirement by removing the reference to the Committee on the Judiciary and retaining only the Committee on Indian Affairs. These changes help streamline the language and clarify the relevant authority for oversight and reporting on issues related to violent crime in Indian territories.
