This Chapter of Division 9 of the Fish and Game Code of California stipulates that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, the provisions of this Code are not applicable to California Indians whose names are inscribed upon the tribal rolls, while on the reservation of that tribe and under those circumstances in California where the Code was not applicable to them immediately before the effective date of Public Law 280, Chapter 505, First Session, 1953, 83d Congress of the United States. No such Indian shall be prosecuted for the violation of any provision of this Code occurring in the places and under the circumstances as described. However, nothing in this Chapter prohibits or restricts the prosecution of an Indian for the violation of a provision of this Code prohibiting the sale of a bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, or reptile.
