H.R. 375 would amend the Indian Reorganization Act to allow the Secretary of the Interior
to take land into trust for all federally recognized Indian tribes. Under current law, as
established by the Supreme Court in Carcieri v. Salazar (555 U.S. 379 (2009)), the
Secretary's authority to take land into trust for Indian tribes is limited to those tribes that
were federally recognized prior to the enactment of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934.
Under the bill, the Secretary would have the authority to take land into trust for any federally
recognized Indian tribe, regardless of when a tribe was so recognized. Because current law
requires employees of the Department of the Interior (DOI) to determine which tribes would
be eligible to have lands taken into trust, CBO expects that implementing H.R. 375 could
reduce the workload of some DOI employees. Using information from DOI, CBO expects
that any savings resulting from that reduced workload would not be significant.
H.R. 375 would impose both intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). CBO estimates that the aggregate costs of
those mandates would fall below the annual thresholds established in UMRA for
intergovernmental and private-sector mandates ($82 million and $164 million in 2019,
respectively, adjusted annually for inflation).
