S. 1363

New Mexico Land Grant-Mercedes Historical or Traditional Use Cooperation and Coordination Act

Energy and Natural Resources Committee · Sen. Ben Luján (D-NM)

The bill would require the federal Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service to work with New Mexico's Land Grant Council to establish formal agreements allowing local land grant communities to use federal lands for historical and traditional purposes. It would also require these agencies to consult with Indian tribes and create procedures for land grant communities to participate in federal land management decisions affecting their traditional uses.[AI-Generated]
