1 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

2 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Indian Community 

3 Economic Enhancement Act of 2017’’. 

4 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

5 Congress finds that— 

6 (1)(A) to bring industry and economic develop7 ment to Indian communities, Indian tribes must 

8 overcome a number of barriers, including— 

9 (i) geographical location; 

10 (ii) lack of infrastructure or capacity; 

11 (iii) lack of sufficient collateral and capital; 

12 and 

13 (iv) regulatory bureaucracy relating to— 

14 (I) development; and 

15 (II) access to services provided by the 

16 Federal Government; and 

17 (B) the barriers described in subparagraph (A) 

18 often add to the cost of doing business in Indian 

19 communities; 

20 (2) Indian tribes— 

21 (A) enact laws and exercise sovereign gov22 ernmental powers; 

23 (B) determine policy for the benefit of trib24 al members; and 

25 (C) produce goods and services for con26 sumers; 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with BILLS

•S 1116 RS

1 (3) the Federal Government has— 

2 (A) an important government-to-govern3 ment relationship with Indian tribes; and 

4 (B) a role in facilitating healthy and sus5 tainable tribal economies; 

6 (4) the input of Indian tribes in developing 

7 Federal policy and programs leads to more meaning8 ful and effective measures to assist Indian tribes and 

9 Indian entrepreneurs in building tribal economies; 

10 (5)(A) many components of tribal infrastruc11 ture need significant repair or replacement; and 

12 (B) access to private capital for projects in In13 dian communities— 

14 (i) may not be available; or 

15 (ii) may come at a higher cost than such 

16 access for other projects; 

17 (6)(A) Federal capital improvement programs, 

18 such as those that facilitate tax-exempt bond financ19 ing and loan guarantees, are tools that help improve 

20 or replace crumbling infrastructure; 

21 (B) lack of parity in treatment of an Indian 

22 tribe as a governmental entity under Federal tax 

23 and certain other regulatory laws impedes, in part, 

24 the ability of Indian tribes to raise capital through 

25 issuance of tax exempt debt, invest as an accredited 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with BILLS
4 

•S 1116 RS

1 investor, and benefit from other investment incen2 tives accorded to State and local governmental enti3 ties; and 

4 (C) as a result of the disparity in treatment of 

5 Indian tribes described in subparagraph (B), inves6 tors may avoid financing, or demand a premium to 

7 finance, projects in Indian communities, making the 

8 projects more costly or inaccessible; 

9 (7) there are a number of Federal loan guar10 antee programs available to facilitate financing of 

11 business, energy, economic, housing, and community 

12 development projects in Indian communities, and 

13 those programs may support public-private partner14 ships for infrastructure development, but improve15 ments and support are needed for those programs 

16 specific to Indian communities to facilitate more ef17 fectively private financing for infrastructure and 

18 other urgent development needs; and 

19 (8)(A) most real property held by Indian tribes 

20 is trust or restricted land that essentially cannot be 

21 held as collateral; and 

22 (B) while creative solutions, such as leasehold 

23 mortgages, have been developed in response to the 

24 problem identified in subparagraph (A), some solu25 tions remain subject to review and approval by the
