Provide requirements for the purchase, lease, sale, or exchange of school lands located within the boundaries of an Indian reservation

This bill (LB 675) proposed requiring Nebraska's Board of Educational Lands and Funds to grant Indian tribes with jurisdiction over lands within an Indian reservation the first right of refusal for purchasing, leasing, or exchanging state-owned school lands located on those reservations. It amended existing laws to establish this tribal priority, defining "Indian reservation" and "Indian tribe" using existing legal terms from Nebraska statutes. The key mechanism ensures tribes must be offered these lands before the state can sell, lease, or exchange them to others. The bill was withdrawn before becoming law in 2025.
