In Committee

Show full summary
- Village members: Members would stop receiving Cook Inlet Region, Incorporated at-large shareholder benefits under ANCSA section 7(m). Future regional resource payments would be retained by Alexander Creek, Incorporated under ANCSA section 7(j) and the Region is not liable for damages from that change.
- Corporate and negotiation rules: Alexander Creek, Incorporated would need to amend its State charter to convert to a Village Corporation and, after an offer to negotiate within 30 days, must enter an agreement with the Secretary to settle aboriginal land claims within 13 months. The agreement must seek parity, to the maximum extent practicable, with similar Village Corporation agreements in value.
- Federal property and land entitlements: The agreement may include coordination with the General Services Administration on surplus property and would make ACI eligible to receive surplus real property under 40 U.S.C. 1303. The bill preserves ACI's existing land entitlements and does not reduce lands selected or conveyed to ACI before enactment.

Recognition and settlement for Alexander Creek
If enacted, the bill would recognize Alexander Creek, Incorporated as a Village Corporation and Alexander Creek village as a Native village on the date of enactment. The Secretary would have to offer talks within 30 days and Alexander Creek would need an agreement within 13 months to settle land and other claims. The agreement must try to match the value of similar village deals. For that agreement, Alexander Creek would be treated like a State agency and could get surplus federal land or buildings. Alexander Creek must file state charter and governance changes soon after enactment. Land already selected or conveyed to Alexander Creek before enactment would stay with the corporation. Except for Alexander Creek, other regional land conveyances would not change under this section.
Alexander Creek members lose Region payments
If enacted, Alexander Creek members would stop getting Cook Inlet Region at‑large payments starting on the date of enactment. Future resource payments from the Region would be kept by Alexander Creek, Incorporated. Alexander Creek must notify each member about this change. The bill would also say the Cook Inlet Region is not liable for damages tied to stopping those payments.
