A bill to authorize leases of up to 99 years for land held in trust for federally recognized Indian Tribes.

Federally recognized Indian tribes would be allowed to sign leases on their trust land — land the federal government holds on a tribe's behalf — for up to 99 years, matching a longer lease term that a handful of specific tribes, including the Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis Reservation, already have under prior one-off laws. Under current general law, most tribes are capped at shorter lease terms, which can make it harder to attract long-term business investment, housing developers, or energy projects that need lease certainty spanning decades. This bill extends the longer 99-year option to every tribe on the federal government's official list of recognized tribes, instead of only the few named in earlier separate laws. It does not change any other rule about how leases are approved or who tribes may lease to.
