Posts - Bill - HR 412 To authorize the Bay Mills Indian Community of the State of Michigan to convey land and interests in land owned by the Tribe.
house 01/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We are introducing legislation to empower the Bay Mills Indian Community in Michigan to manage their own land by allowing them to transfer, lease, or convey property without needing further authorization, as long as the land is not held in trust by the U.S. government. This respects the Tribe's autonomy over their land, while maintaining protections over trust lands.
