AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal laws on leasing and rights-of-way on Indian trust land. It extends long-term leasing rules that apply to certain listed reservations to land held in trust for any federally recognized tribe, and removes lease-length limits in one part of the leasing law. It allows a tribe to grant rights-of-way across its own land for any purpose without separate approval from the Secretary of the Interior, if the tribe follows its own regulation that the Secretary has approved. The Secretary must review such tribal regulations within 180 days, and approval requires an environmental review process with public comment. The Secretary may enforce or cancel these rights-of-way and may act on petitions claiming a tribe broke its approved regulation.
