Dossier Legislative introduced 17-jun-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

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

Key claim: S4813 would authorize leases of up to 99 years for land held in trust for federally recognized Indian Tribes, extending current leasing term limits.

Abstract

(S4813 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-17): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Indian Affairs.

Why this matters

A Senate counterpart to HR5910 signals bicameral interest in generalizing 99-year trust land leasing authority, which historically has been granted tribe-by-tribe. For renters, buyers, and builders in Indian Country, uniform long-term leasing terms would standardize the collateral basis for mortgages and the amortization horizon for construction financing across all federally recognized tribes.
