This bill removes the requirement for conveyance. Additionally, the bill allows village corporations to regain title to the lands held in trust by dissolving the trust through formal resolution by the village corporation and the residents of the Native village.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
