Indian Tribes are added to the bodies that may take on environmental review
What the document says“by striking ``State or unit of general local government'' each place it appears and inserting ``State, Indian Tribe, or unit of general local government'';”
The section amends section 305(c) of the Multifamily Housing Property Disposition Reform Act of 1994 to add Indian Tribes wherever States and units of general local government appear, and adds a definition of Indian Tribe drawn from section 4(13)(B) of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996.
What the document actually says“by striking ``State or unit of general local government'' each place it appears and inserting ``State, Indian Tribe, or unit of general local government'';”
A phrase in an older law names states and local governments. Every time it appears, it comes out. A longer phrase goes in that names tribes too.
That older law lets a body take on a review itself. Before this, only states and local governments could. Now a tribe can as well.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
