Land Reparations Commission Act

This bill would create a 15-member Commission on Land Reparations in the legislative branch of the federal government. The Commission would identify descendants of people enslaved in the United States who are eligible, set up a way for people to apply, and find land from federal lands, repossessed properties, unowned land, and municipal land banks. It would decide whether eligible individuals receive a subsidy for land or a one-time cash payment. The Commission could issue subpoenas, get information from federal agencies, and would report to Congress within 18 months of its first full meeting, ending 90 days after that report.
