S 3564 United States Senate · 118th Congress

GSA Disposal Process Tribal Parity Act of 2024

This bill amends federal laws to ensure Indian Tribes have equal access to surplus federal property as states. It updates definitions across multiple statutes (including GSA disposal rules, McKinney-Vento homeless assistance, airport transfers, and wildlife conservation) to replace "State" with "Indian Tribe, State" where applicable, explicitly including tribes in eligibility. The key mechanism is revising legal language to remove barriers preventing tribes from applying for surplus property. It directly affects federally recognized tribes seeking to acquire or use federal surplus real estate for community needs. The bill does not change property use rules but ensures tribes are treated equally in the disposal process.
