(Updated January 31, 2017)
This bill would repeal the Act of May 31, 1918, which authorized the Secretary of the Interior to set aside and reserve a tract of land within the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, Idaho, for the purpose of building a town site.

The bill also "directs the United States to hold in trust for the benefit of the Tribes or a member of the Tribes: (1) any land they acquired before this Act's enactment, and (2) any land they acquired on or after this Act's enactment that is set aside or apart under such Act."
