Bill overview
This bill changes a law to allow the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) to lease land they hold in trust for up to 99 years. Currently, the Long-Term Leasing Act primarily applies to other tribes. The amendment expands the scope of the Act to specifically include these two Massachusetts tribes and their respective reservations. This would give them greater control and potential revenue generation opportunities related to their land.
