Summary

Reducing Conflicts of Interests in the Representation of Indian Tribes Act of 2005 - Amends the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act with respect to certain additional employment rights of officers and employees of the United States assigned to an Indian tribe, and former U.S. officers and employees employed by Indian tribes, to act as agents or attorneys for or appear on behalf of such tribes in connection with any matter pending before any department, agency, court, or commission. Limits these additional employment rights of a former U.S. officer or employee employed by an Indian tribe to any former U.S. officer or employee who performs the same services, pursuant to a self-governance contract or compact under such Act, that the individual formerly performed for the United States. Repeals the specific authority of such current or former U.S. officers or employees to act as agents or attorneys for or to appear on behalf of such tribes in connection with any matter pending before any department, agency, court, or commission. Authorizes such individuals, however, to communicate with and appear before any such department, agency, court, or commission on behalf of the Indian tribe, but only with respect to any matter relating to the contract or compact (including, as currently, any matter in which the United States is a party or has direct and substantial interest).
