S 2868 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to accept the request to revoke the charter of incorporation of the Lower Sioux Indian Community in the State of Minnesota at the request of that Community, and for other purposes.

This bill formally accepts the Lower Sioux Indian Community's request to revoke their federal charter of incorporation, which was originally issued in 1937 under the Indian Reorganization Act. It directly affects the Lower Sioux Indian Community in Minnesota by ending their federally recognized incorporation status. The key mechanism is the official revocation of their 1937 charter, as requested by the community itself. This is a procedural action with no new policy provisions, solely addressing the community's formal request to surrender their incorporated status.
