H.R. 3742 Protect Native American Lands

Dear Colleague Letter: I invite you to become a cosponsor of H.R. 3742, which would amend the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) of 1934 by reaffirming the Secretary of the Interior’s authority to take land into trust for federally recognized Indian tribes. This bill would clarify the law and remove the uncertainty caused by the recent U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Carcieri v. Salazar.
