What the document says
“The term ``land mortgage'' means a mortgage obtained by an individual Indian who owns a tract of trust land for the purpose of-- (A) home acquisition; (B) home construction; (C) home improvements; or (D) economic development.”
A land mortgage is taken by an individual Indian owner of a tract of trust land, for one of the four purposes listed.
What the document actually says
“The term ``land mortgage'' means a mortgage obtained by an individual Indian who owns a tract of trust land for the purpose of-- (A) home acquisition; (B) home construction; (C) home improvements; or (D) economic development.”
That sentence, in plain words
A land loan is taken by one Indian person who owns trust land. It is for buying, building, or fixing a home. It can also be for growing a business.
What this is about
This kind of loan is on the land itself. Other loans in this law are on a lease.
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.
