Changes the membership requirements for members of the Native American Indian affairs commission as follows: (1) Specifies that eight, rather than six, members must be Native American Indians from different geographic regions of Indiana. (2) Adds two nonvoting members appointed by the minority leaders of the senate and house of representatives. (3) Removes the requirement that two members must be Native American Indians who have knowledge in Native American traditions and spiritual issues. (4) Replaces the commissioner of the commission for higher education or the commissioner's designee as an ex officio member with the director of the department of child services or the director's designee. (5) Provides that not more than two members of the commission may represent the same tribe or organization. (Current law limits a particular tribe or organization to one member.)
