Indian land takes its meaning from a federal regulation
The document says “means”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“The term ``Indian land'' has the meaning given the term in section 162.003 of title 25, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of enactment of this Act).”
The Act does not define Indian land in its own words. It adopts the definition in 25 C.F.R. 162.003 as that regulation stood on the date of enactment.
What the document actually says
“The term ``Indian land'' has the meaning given the term in section 162.003 of title 25, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of enactment of this Act).”
That sentence, in plain words
The words Indian land mean what they mean in a federal rule book. The rule is section 162.003 of title 25.
What this is about
That rule book is not indexed here. This site does not say what it holds.
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.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
