Interim study of barrier to mortgage lending on native trust land

LC 523 proposed an interim study to examine barriers preventing mortgage lending on Native American trust lands. The study would have investigated specific obstacles faced by Native landowners and lenders in securing mortgages on these properties. However, the bill was placed on hold multiple times and ultimately died in the legislative process on May 22, 2025, without advancing to a vote or becoming law. As an interim study bill, it did not enact any policy changes or directly affect any group.
