Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Requires the Interior Department to accept Tribal appraisals for certain on-reservation trust land acquisitions, instead of a federal appraisal.
- Applies only to Tribes that run approved self-governance realty programs and have taken on land management and appraisal responsibilities.
- Limits the Interior Department’s role to confirming receipt and recording the Tribe’s appraisal certification, aiming to cut delays.
- Keeps other steps in place, like environmental review, title review, and public notice requirements.
- Requires tracking and publishing processing times, and a federal watchdog review within 3 years to see if it speeds up cases and affects quality or lawsuits.
