SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
government’s assumption of concurrent
federal criminal jurisdiction within the
Indian country of the Hoopa Valley
Tribe will take effect no later than
November 18, 2017.
Statutory Background
The Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA)
was enacted on July 29, 2010, as Title
II of Public Law 111–211. The purpose
of TLOA is to help the Federal
Government and tribal governments
better address the unique public safety
challenges that confront tribal
communities. Section 221(b) of the new
law, now codified at 18 U.S.C. 1162(d),
permits an Indian tribe with Indian
country subject to State criminal
jurisdiction under Public Law 280, Pub.
L. 83–280, 67 Stat. 588 (1953), to request
that the United States accept concurrent
jurisdiction to prosecute violations of
the General Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 1152)
and the Major Crimes Act (18 U.S.C.
1153) within that tribe’s Indian country.

the Hoopa Valley Tribe, located in the
State of California, requested that the
United States assume concurrent
Federal jurisdiction to prosecute
violations of the General Crimes Act and

country of the tribe. This would allow
the United States to assume concurrent

without eliminating or affecting the
State’s existing criminal jurisdiction.

tribe’s request on November 18, 2016. In

Department followed the procedures
described in the Department’s final
