          <text>&lt;p&gt;This bill authorizes the Department of the Interior to take land into trust for all federally recognized Indian tribes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill applies the Indian Reorganization Act to all federally recognized Indian tribes, regardless of when a tribe became recognized. The amendments made by this bill are retroactively effective as if included in the Indian Reorganization Act. This effectively overrules the Supreme Court's decision in &lt;i&gt;Carcieri v. Salazar, &lt;/i&gt;which held that Interior could not take land into trust for a specified tribe because that tribe had not been under federal jurisdiction when the Indian Reorganization Act was enacted in 1934.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
