Poarch Band of Creek Indians Parity Act
This bill retroactively applies the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians as of June 18, 1934, clarifying their federal jurisdiction status under existing law. It directly affects the Poarch Band by confirming all lands previously taken into trust by the U.S. for their benefit as valid trust lands. The key provision reaffirms the Secretary of the Interior's past actions in placing these lands into trust under the IRA, making those decisions legally final. This provides legal clarity for the tribe's land holdings and governance under federal law.
