This legislation directed MITSC to create the Task Force on Tribal-State Relations. The Task Force was charged with exploring ways to improve the relationship between the state and MITSC and the state and federally recognized Indian Tribes; determining the appropriate role for the Aroostook Band of Micmacs and the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians in the MITSC; evaluating the general effectiveness of the MITSC; engaging in other activities to improve tribal-state relations; and developing recommendations.
