AI Summary
This bill amends the Act of June 18, 1934, also known as the Indian Reorganization Act, to reaffirm the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to take land into trust for federally recognized Indian Tribes. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "Indian" in the existing law to include any federally recognized Indian Tribe, rather than just those under federal jurisdiction on June 18, 1934. The bill also ratifies and confirms any previous actions taken by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the Act for federally recognized Tribes, even if the Tribe's federal recognition status on the date of the action is challenged. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the amendments do not affect the application of other federal laws or the Secretary's authority under laws other than the Indian Reorganization Act.
