Bill > S3263

This bill, the Poarch Band of Creek Indians Parity Act, aims to reaffirm the applicability of the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. The bill states that the Poarch Band of Creek Indians shall be considered "now under Federal jurisdiction" as of June 18, 1934, for the purposes of the IRA, which provides a legal framework for the organization and administration of Native American tribes. Additionally, the bill ratifies and confirms the actions of the Secretary of the Interior in taking lands into trust for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians before the enactment of this Act, solidifying their status as trust lands under the IRA.
