S 1322

Sponsored by Brian Schatz (D)

Unlocking Native Lands and Opportunities for Commerce and Key Economic Developments Act of 2023

Would have let tribes lease restricted land for up to 99 years and approve some rights-of-way without Interior approval.

Tradeoff

Would have let tribes approve some rights-of-way without Interior sign-off. Interior would still have to approve each tribe's rules, and the bill would have exempted that approval from key federal environmental laws.
