This notice publishes the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation's Amended and Restated Liquor Ordinance. The Liquor Ordinance regulates and controls the consumption, possession, manufacture, distribution, and sale of liquor within the Reservation.

Pursuant to the Act of August 15, 1953, Public Law 83-277, 67 Stat. 586, 18 U.S.C. 1161, as interpreted by the Supreme Court in Rice v. Rehner, 463 U.S. 713 (1983), the Secretary of the Interior shall certify and publish in the Federal Register notice of adopted liquor control ordinances for the purpose of regulating liquor transactions in Indian country. On April 29, 2019, the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation duly adopted the Amended and Restated Liquor Ordinance. This Federal Register Notice comprehensively amends and supersedes the existing Tule River Indian Reservation Ordinance Legalizing the Introduction, Sale, or Possession of Intoxicants, which was published in the Federal Register on December 30, 1970 (35 FR 19798), and repeals all previous ordinances regulating liquor within the Reservation, including the ordinance published in the Federal Register on April 9, 1954 (19 FR 2065).
