A Tribe shall be treated as if it had made the election described in paragraph (1)(B) if— it is a Tribe subject to the law enforcement jurisdiction of a State under section 1162 of title 18, United States Code; the Tribe does not make an election under paragraph
(1)within 1 year of the date of the enactment of this Act or rescinds an election under paragraph (1)(A); or the Attorney General determines that the Tribe has not substantially implemented the requirements of this Act and is not likely to become capable of doing so within a reasonable amount of time.
