Land Reparations Commission Act

This bill would create a new Commission on Land Reparations within the legislative branch to study and propose land reparations for African-American descendants of enslaved people who were promised land after the Civil War but never received it. The Commission would identify eligible descendants, determine suitable federal or municipal lands for compensation, and decide whether to provide land subsidies or one-time cash payments. A 15-member panel would be appointed by political leaders and civil society representatives to conduct hearings, gather evidence, and submit a report to Congress within 18 months before the commission dissolves.
