This law's rules don't apply to certain tribal lands in Oklahoma. Those excluded lands belong to the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Seminoles, Osage, Miamies, Peorias, Sacs, and Foxes. The rules also skip the Seneca Nation's reservations in New York. They also skip a strip of Nebraska land added to the Sioux Nation's territory by executive order.

The rules in this act do not apply to the territory occupied by these tribes in Oklahoma: the Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Seminoles, Osage, Miamies and Peorias, and Sacs and Foxes. They also do not apply to any of the reservations belonging to the Seneca Nation of New York Indians, in the State of New York. And they do not apply to a specific strip of land in Nebraska — the strip added to the south side of the Sioux Nation's territory by executive order.
