To authorize the Bay Mills Indian Community of the State of Michigan to convey land and interests in land owned by the Tribe.

This bill lets the Bay Mills Indian Community in Michigan sell, lease, or place a mortgage or other claim on land the tribe owns that is not held in federal trust, without needing extra approvals. It does not change any rules for land that the United States holds in trust for the tribe. The bill also says the federal government isn’t responsible for any losses from these land deals unless the U.S. is part of the deal or another law says otherwise .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Bay Mills Indian Community, people or businesses that might buy or lease land from the tribe, and the federal government.
• What changes: The tribe can handle sales, leases, or other land agreements for non-trust land on its own; trust land is not affected; the U.S. is generally not liable for those deals .
• Day-to-day impact: Could make it faster and simpler for the tribe to use or develop its non-trust land, since fewer approvals are needed.
