To amend the Act of August 9, 1955 (commonly known as the "Long-Term Leasing Act"), to authorize leases of up to 99 years for land held in trust for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), and for other purposes.

This bill would let two Massachusetts tribes—the Mashpee Wampanoag and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah)—lease their trust lands for up to 99 years. This longer time frame is meant to give the tribes more flexibility and certainty when making plans for how their land is used.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), both in Massachusetts.
• What changes: Their trust lands could be leased for terms up to 99 years.
• When: This would take effect if the bill becomes law.
