Tribal Conservation Priorities Inclusion Act

This bill amends the Food Security Act of 1985 so that Indian Tribes are included alongside states and local governments in setting "priority resource concerns" for federal farm conservation programs. It changes the definitions used in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program to cover areas on tribal land and tribal priorities. It also adds tribal input to the rules for stewardship contracts and critical conservation areas. Finally, it updates legal references in the Act's definition of Indian Tribe.
