The
Senate Indian Affairs
Committee will hold a business meeting tomorrow to consider two bills.
The committee will consider
S.675, the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act. The bill extends the policy of self-determination to Native Hawaiians.
The committee also will consider
S.676, a fix to the
U.S. Supreme Court
decision in
Carcieri
v. Salazar.
The bill ensures that all tribes, regardless of the date of federal recognition, can benefit from the land-into-trust process.
Neither bill has come up for a hearing before the committee.
The business meeting takes place at 2:15pm in Room 628 of the Senate Dirksen Office Building. It will be followed by a hearing on the
8(a)
program at the
Small Business
Administration.
