OKLAHOMA CITY A bill that would eliminate 11 unenforced federal laws, which Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford said he was embarrassed exist, has been approved by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee.
Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., sponsored the bill, dubbed the Respect Act, with Lankford as one of three co-sponsors along with Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Tina Smith of Minnesota.
Many of the laws targeted by the legislation date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Oklahoma Republican said eliminating the laws is long overdue.
“Some of the statutes that are still on federal books are things like you cannot pay a Native American if they’re under the influence of intoxicating liquor, that you can actually force people that are Native Americans into forced labor, that their children could be taken from them without parental consent and put into boarding schools,” Lankford, a Republican, said at the committee meeting in March.
