HR 6489 United States House · 118th Congress

Alaska Native Village Municipal Lands Restoration Act of 2023

HR 6489, the Alaska Native Village Municipal Lands Restoration Act of 2023, amends the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act to clarify land conveyance rules affecting Alaska Native Village Corporations. It allows these corporations to revert certain lands previously conveyed to the State of Alaska in trust back to themselves under specific conditions. Key provisions include requiring that the land was conveyed for future municipal corporation establishment but no such corporation was formed by the bill's enactment date, and that the village formally resolves to dissolve the trust. This directly affects Alaska Native Village Corporations holding land under these specific trust arrangements, enabling them to regain title to the reverted land.
