Land-into-trust fix could come up for consideration in Senate
Posted: Monday, November 26, 2012
A fix to the U.S. Supreme Court
decision in Carcieri v.
Salazar could come up for a vote this week in the Senate, according to Turtle Talk.
The decision restricts the land-into-trust process to tribes that were "under federal jurisdiction" as of 1934.
S.676 ensures that all tribes can participate, regardless of the date of federal recognition.
Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii),
the chairman of the Senate
Indian Affairs Committee, and other Democrats have said the bill is one of their highest priorities for the land-duck session.
It could come up for a vote on Wednesday, according to Turtle Talk.
