A bill to provide for the equitable settlement of certain Indian land disputes regarding land in Illinois, and for other purposes.
14 September 2026 | Passed House (voice vote)
What's next: Presidential review (±10 days)
Summary: The bill would give the U.S. Court of Federal Claims the authority to hear a land dispute claim by the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma based on an old treaty, requiring the court to decide the case without applying statutes of limitations or delay-based defenses, but only if the tribe files within one year. It would also extinguish all other current and future land claims the tribe has to Illinois property.
