US WITH DETAILS ON THIS NEW BILL. REPORTER: CONGRESSMAN TOM COLE EXPECTED TO INTRODUCE THIS BILL IN WASHINGTON TOMORROW. LIKE YOU SAID, IT WOULD ALLOW THE CHICKASAWS AND CHEROKEES TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE STATE TO ALLOW THE STATE TO HAVE JURISDICTION IN SOME CASES ON THE LAND OF THOSE TRIBES. CHUCK HOSKIN SAID MCGIRT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT CASE AND RESTORED RESERVATION STATUS FOR THE FIVE TRIBES OF OKLAHOMA AND THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA OAK CAN'T PROSECUTE CRIMES THAT HAPPEN ON TRIBAL LAND AND WHERE A NON-NATIVE AMERICAN. CHEROKEE ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS THE STATE WHERE THE TRIBE COULD LET THE STATE PROSECUTE SOME OF THOSE CASES. >> IT IS TAKING THE SHACKLES OFF OF THE TRIBE IN THE STATE SO THE TRIBE AND THE STATE RGS THE TWO ENTITIES IN THE GREATEST STATE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT IN OUR AREA, TOGETHER TO SOLVE JURISDICTION PROBLEMS IN WAYS THAT MAKE SENSE. REPORTER: PROSECUTING NONTRIBAL MEMBERS IS UP TO THE FEDS. AGREEMENTS LIKE THESE COULD TAKE SOME OF THE PRESSURE OFF OF FEDERAL PROSECUTORS WHO ARE SEEING A FLOOD OF NEW CASES IN A POST-MCGIRT WORLD. >> THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA HAD A SNT TRY TO DEVELOP THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. >> A LOT TO KEEP IN MIND HERE, THAT BILL STILL HAS TO PASS IN WASHINGTON.
