Tribes gain control over land leases and rights-of-way for economic growth.

This law speeds up economic development on Native lands by granting tribes greater authority to approve leases and rights-of-way for commerce and infrastructure. Tribes can now grant these permissions independently, provided they establish and gain approval for their own environmental review regulations from the Secretary of the Interior. This shift aims to streamline investment and development projects on tribal trust lands, boosting economic opportunities.
