AMENDMENT: 

Strike out all after the enacting clause and insert: 

1 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

2 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Indian Community Eco3 nomic Enhancement Act of 2020’’. 

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 
2 

•S 212 EAH 

1 (II) access to services provided by the 

2 Federal Government; and 

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

4 often add to the cost of doing business in Indian com5 munities; 

6 (2) Indian Tribes— 

7 (A) enact laws and exercise sovereign gov8 ernmental powers; 

9 (B) determine policy for the benefit of Trib10 al members; and 

11 (C) produce goods and services for con12 sumers; 

13 (3) the Federal Government has— 

14 (A) an important government-to-govern15 ment relationship with Indian Tribes; and 

16 (B) a role in facilitating healthy and sus17 tainable Tribal economies; 

18 (4) the input of Indian Tribes in developing 

19 Federal policy and programs leads to more meaning20 ful and effective measures to assist Indian Tribes and 

21 Indian entrepreneurs in building Tribal economies; 

22 (5)(A) many components of Tribal infrastructure 

23 need significant repair or replacement; and 

24 (B) access to private capital for projects in In25 dian communities— 
3 

•S 212 EAH 

1 (i) may not be available; or 

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

3 access for other projects; 

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

5 such as those that facilitate tax-exempt bond financ6 ing and loan guarantees, are tools that help improve 

7 or replace crumbling infrastructure; 

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

9 Tribe as a governmental entity under Federal tax and 

10 certain other regulatory laws impedes, in part, the 

11 ability of Indian Tribes to raise capital through 

12 issuance of tax exempt debt, invest as an accredited 

13 investor, and benefit from other investment incentives 

14 accorded to State and local governmental entities; and 

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

16 Indian Tribes described in subparagraph (B), inves17 tors may avoid financing, or demand a premium to 

18 finance, projects in Indian communities, making the 

19 projects more costly or inaccessible; 

20 (7) there are a number of Federal loan guarantee 

21 programs available to facilitate financing of business, 

22 energy, economic, housing, and community develop23 ment projects in Indian communities, and those pro24 grams may support public-private partnerships for 

25 infrastructure development, but improvements and 
4 

•S 212 EAH 

1 support are needed for those programs specific to In2 dian communities to facilitate more effectively private 

3 financing for infrastructure and other urgent develop4 ment needs; and 

5 (8)(A) most real property held by Indian Tribes 

6 is trust or restricted land that essentially cannot be 

7 held as collateral; and 

8 (B) while creative solutions, such as leasehold 

9 mortgages, have been developed in response to the 

10 problem identified in subparagraph (A), some solu11 tions remain subject to review and approval by the 

12 Bureau of Indian Affairs, adding additional costs 

13 and delay to Tribal projects.
