Tribes: land acquisition: comments.

Existing federal law sets forth policies and procedures governing the acquisition of land by the United States in trust status for specified individuals and tribes. Existing federal law requires the Secretary of the Department of the Interior to notify the state and local governments having regulatory jurisdiction over the land to be acquired, and authorizes the state or local government to provide written comments as to the acquisition's potential impacts on regulatory jurisdiction, real property taxes, and special assessments. This bill would require the state, when submitting comments as described above, to support, and not oppose, fee-into-trust applications submitted by tribal governments.
