25 U.S.C. § 403b — Lease of restricted lands in State of Washington
submitted 80 years ago by ch. 929 to r/title-25-INDIANS · 103 words · no verdicts yet
Restricted Indian land in Washington State can be leased with the owner's written consent. Leases can be for religious, educational, recreational, business, or public uses, like airports or warehouses. Leases can last up to 25 years, but this law never allows leasing land to extract natural resources.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, with the consent in writing of the individual Indian, association of Indians, or Indian tribe* concerned, any restricted Indian lands situated within the State of Washington may be leased for religious, educational, recreational, business, or public purposes, including, but not limited to, airports, experimental station, stockyards, warehouses, and grain elevators, for periods not to exceed twenty-five years under such rules and regulations as the Secretary* of the Interior may prescribe: Provided, That nothing in this section or section 403c of this title shall be deemed to authorize such leases for the exploitation of any natural resources.
