Poarch Band of Creek Indians Parity Act

The Poarch Band of Creek Indians Parity Act retroactively applies the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, making them subject to the IRA's protections as if they had been included from June 18, 1934. It confirms that all lands taken into trust for the tribe by the U.S. government before the bill's enactment are legally recognized as trust lands and validates the Secretary of the Interior's prior actions in placing those lands into trust under the IRA. This bill directly affects the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, a federally recognized tribe in Alabama, by securing their land rights under federal law without requiring new land acquisitions or administrative changes.
