Plain Language Summary

# TERRA Act Summary **What It Would Do:** The TERRA Act addresses environmental assessment, disaster relief, and management of natural resources, with particular focus on tribal lands and federal-Indian relations. Based on its subject categories, the bill would likely establish oversight mechanisms for environmental monitoring, create frameworks for disaster relief and insurance, and provide processes for transferring or managing land and resources. It would also involve congressional oversight of relevant federal agencies and programs. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily impacts Native American tribes and their lands, federal agencies managing natural resources and disaster response, and communities in areas affected by natural disasters. It may also affect licensing and registration processes for activities on or near affected lands. **Current Status:** The TERRA Act (HR 3654) is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.

As it remains in the early legislative stage, the specific provisions and exact scope of the bill are still being developed. No further action has been taken since its introduction in the 119th Congress. *Note: Without access to the full bill text, this summary is based on the subject categories listed. For detailed provisions, the complete legislative text should be reviewed.*.
