3 new laws were signed by the President yesterday. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/browse#current_status[]=28&sort=-current_status_date&congress=__ALL__ 🏛️
I like GovTrack.us and this bot is helpful but why not make this bot automatically include the names of the bills and links directly to them. It could also reply to itself with the bill summary from the Library of Congress if the bot was moved to an instance that doesn't have a crazy low grapheme limit. Something like:
H. R. 2839
AN ACT
To amend the Siletz Reservation Act to address the hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and for other purposes.
Summary of H. R. 2839 enacted after being signed by the President on December 26, 2023:
This bill provides a process by which the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and Oregon may negotiate to amend or replace the existing agreement defining the tribe's hunting, fishing, trapping, and animal gathering rights.
The current agreement, which was made effective by a May 2, 1980, consent decree by the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, serves as the exclusive and final determination of the tribe's hunting, fishing, trapping, and gathering rights. This bill instead allows an April 22, 1980, agreement between the United States, Oregon, and the tribe (known as the Siletz Agreement) to define the tribe's rights until and unless it is amended or replaced upon mutual agreement of the tribe and Oregon (with specified limitations regarding a new agreement).
The bill allows the tribe and Oregon to return to the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon to request the modification or termination of the May 2, 1980, consent decree.
