Sec. 106, Nov. 29, 1990, 104 Stat. 4665; Pub. L. 103-322, title
XXXIII, Sec. 330016(1)(U), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on section 305d of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Indians
(Aug. 27, 1935, ch. 748, Sec. 5, 49 Stat. 892).
The reference to the offense as a misdemeanor was omitted as
unnecessary in view of the definition of misdemeanor in section 1
of this title.
The words "upon conviction thereof" were omitted as unnecessary,
since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
Maximum fine was changed from $2,000 to $500 to bring the offense
within the category of petty offenses defined by section 1 of this
title. (See reviser's note under section 1157 of this title.)
Minor changes were made in phraseology.

1994 - Pub. L. 103-322 substituted "fined under this title" for
"fined not more than $250,000" in third par.
1990 - Pub. L. 101-644, in third par., added cls. (1) and (2),
struck out "be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than

provision at end as cl. (3).
