Bill overview
This bill establishes a limited timeframe for the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma to pursue a specific land claim related to Illinois property. It grants the U.S. Court of Federal Claims jurisdiction to resolve this claim without considering typical legal limitations like statutes of limitations. However, this jurisdiction automatically expires one year after the bill’s enactment unless the tribe files a claim within that period. Furthermore, all other outstanding land claims by the tribe to land in Illinois are permanently extinguished.
