## Summary

**Expands leasing eligibility for tribal trust lands.** This bill would let lands held in trust for any federally recognized Indian Tribe on the Secretary's Federally Recognized Indian Tribe (FRIT) list be leased under the same statutory leasing authority that now applies to the Chehalis Reservation. - Federally recognized tribes: Tribes listed by the Secretary on the FRIT list would become eligible to use the existing trust-land leasing rules, widening which tribal trust lands can be leased. - Prospective lessees and local development: A broader set of trust lands could be available for longer-term lease arrangements, potentially including the 99-year terms referenced in the bill title.
