Allow federally recognized Indian tribes to lease their trust lands for up to ninety-nine years.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
H.R. 5910 passed the House on March 3, 2026, and remains in the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. The Senate must now schedule a hearing or vote to move the bill forward, but the primary constraint is that the Senate often does not act on bills passed by the House. Similar legislation from the 118th Congress expired without a final vote, showing that House approval does not guarantee success in the Senate.
