Explanation
The bill removes a provision that requires the state to oppose any
application by a Native American tribe to convert any parcel of fee
interest land (i.e., land owned with no restrictions) to federal trust
status. This does not result in a fiscal impact as it does not restrict the
state's ability to oppose such applications.
