This bill repeals discriminatory federal laws targeting Native Americans and was led by U.S. Representatives Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.), Tom O\u2019Halleran (D-AZ), and Tom Cole (R-OK) in the U.S. House and sponsored by Senator Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) in the U.S. Senate.\n\n\u201cRepealing these laws is a step in the right direction to right the wrongs against Native Americans,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cThere is no reason these archaic and discriminatory laws remain on the books. Senator Rounds\u2019 leadership on this bill was key to getting it passed in the Senate, and I am proud to help usher the RESPECT Act across the finish line in the House.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nThe RESPECT Act repeals eleven federal laws, found here, that discriminate against Native Americans. One of which is the \u201cIndian Reform Schools\u201d that forcibly removed Native American children from their family and placed them in boarding schools.\n\nThe RESPECT Act is supported by the Great Plains Tribal Chairmen\u2019s Association (GPTCA) and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI).", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:32:05Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/johnson-ohalleran-rounds-respect-heads-presidents-desk"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4070561155676842, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
