SCLC/Rosa #688 — 1929 entry power; 1946 consent covers attendance penalties only

GPT-6 Sol archive · Justice 1961 · finding 688

The Commission footnote compresses 1946 into a seeming universal tribal-consent condition for state entry. The February 15, 1929 act (45 Stat. 1185) already authorized state agents onto Indian lands for health/education inspection, sanitation, or compulsory attendance. The August 9, 1946 rewrite (60 Stat. 962) splits inspection from penalty enforcement; its tribal-resolution proviso applies only to “this subparagraph (2)” (penalties), and only where a duly constituted governing body exists. Not a blanket consent gate; 1946 refined an existing power rather than originating state participation.
