A judge for the Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota rescinded a court order that required council members to undergo drug tests.
Several council members had been suspended for refusing a drug tests. They said the council had no right to impose the requirement.
At least 11 officials -- including President John Yellow Bird Steele -- did take tests. But those who were suspended have been reinstated with pay.
Council member Don Garnier remains suspended because he was indicted in federal court on drug charges.
