AI Summary
This bill, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Shab-eh-nay Band Reservation Settlement Act of 2023, aims to address historical injustices related to the Shab-eh-nay Band Reservation in Illinois. It reaffirms the Tribe's ownership and jurisdiction over the Repurchased Lands within the Reservation, while extinguishing the Tribe's title to the remainder of the Reservation and confirming ownership by the State, local governments, and other individuals and entities. The bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to take the Repurchased Lands into trust for the Tribe and provides $50 million in settlement funds for the Tribe to promote economic development and land acquisition. It also allows the Tribe to enter into agreements with the State and local governments, and prohibits the use of condemnation or eminent domain to acquire land within the Reservation or the Replacement Area.
