Poarch Band of Creek Indians Parity Act
United States119th CongressS-1750Senate
Updated: May 14, 2025
Summary
This bill aims to definitively apply the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. It achieves this by retroactively considering the Band to have been "now under Federal jurisdiction" as of June 18, 1934, for all purposes of the IRA. Furthermore, the legislation specifically addresses land matters by reaffirming all lands previously taken into trust by the United States for the benefit of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. It also explicitly ratifies and confirms the actions of the Secretary of the Interior in taking those lands into trust under the provisions of the Indian Reorganization Act prior to the enactment of this bill.
