Long-term leases for tribal trust land

If enacted, any Tribe on the federal list of federally recognized Tribes would be able to lease land held in trust under the existing federal leasing law. Leases would be allowed for up to 99 years when that law allows it. This would expand authority that now names only the Chehalis Reservation to include all listed Tribes. It would not add funding or new fees. The change would take effect upon enactment.
