To authorize the Bay Mills Indian Community of the State of Michigan to convey land and interests in land owned by the Tribe.
HR 412 authorizes the Bay Mills Indian Community in Michigan to sell, lease, or transfer its own land (not held in trust by the U.S. government) without needing additional federal approval. It specifically excludes land held in trust by the U.S. for the Tribe, which remains subject to existing federal oversight. The bill also states the U.S. government won't be liable for losses from these transactions unless it was directly involved. This changes the Tribe's ability to manage its non-trust land holdings while maintaining federal control over trust lands.
