To reaffirm the applicability of the Indian Reorganization Act to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB4147, seeks to reaffirm the applicability of the Indian Reorganization Act to the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. The Indian Reorganization Act is a key law that governs the relationship between tribes and the federal government. By reaffirming this act, the bill aims to ensure that the Poarch Band of Creek Indians receive the benefits and protections provided under this legislation.

The intended outcome is to provide clarity and support for the tribe's operations and development.
HB4147 was introduced on June 25, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources for further consideration. As of now, the bill is in its initial stages, and the committee will review its provisions and potential impacts before any further action is taken.
