What changed in the latest version
706 added · 764 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Assembly Bill No. 150 expand protections for judicial personnel of Indian tribes by making it illegal to threaten or intimidate them, similar to existing laws for public officials. Additionally, the bill allows these judicial members to keep their personal information confidential and request an alternate address on their ID cards. This change is significant because it aims to enhance the safety of individuals working in the tribal justice system and promote their privacy.
