Tribal Cultural Areas Protection Act

This bill provides for the preservation of tribal cultural sites on public land by establishing the Tribal Cultural Areas System.

Within three years of this bill's enactment, the Department of the Interior or the Department of Agriculture (USDA), as applicable, must

establish criteria for recommending tribal cultural sites for designation as tribal cultural areas for inclusion in the system, using specified factors;

solicit recommendations from tribes, state historic preservation officers, and tribal historic preservation officers;

review designations in local land management plans to identify tribal cultural sites that meet established criteria;

consider any other relevant information;

consider and evaluate tribal cultural sites for designation as a tribal cultural area for inclusion in the system; and 

make recommendations to Congress.

The bill gives Congress the sole authority to (1) designate a tribal cultural site located on public land as a tribal cultural area for inclusion in the system, and (2) remove a tribal cultural area from the system. Congress must consider the recommendations of Interior and USDA when determining whether to make such a designation.

For each congressionally designated tribal cultural area, Interior or USDA must (1) establish a tribal commission to provide guidance and recommendations on the development of a management plan for the tribal cultural area, and (2) develop a comprehensive management plan.

The bill allows for self-determination contracts with tribes or tribal organizations to perform administrative or management functions within a tribal cultural area.

Advancing Tribal Parity on Public Land Act

This bill addresses tribal interests in the disposal and management of public land.

Specifically, the bill prohibits the federal government from disposing of public land or National Forest System land unless the Department of the Interior or the Department of Agriculture (USDA) determines, through consultation with any interested Indian tribe, that such disposal would not impact the rights and interests of any interested tribe and would not impair access to a reservation.

Interested Indian tribe
 means an Indian tribe with (1) historic, precontact, cultural, or religious connection to a cultural site located on the tract of public land; (2) a former reservation located on the tract of public land; or (3) treaty rights or other reserved rights associated with the tract of public land.

Interior and USDA must, prior to conducting a sale of a tract of public land, notify all tribes of the availability of land for sale. Further, Interior and USDA must sell the tract of land to an interested Indian tribe that submits a bid at fair market value. Land acquired by an interested tribe shall be taken into trust by Interior for the benefit of the tribe.

Additionally, the bill revises various public land provisions, including to add the interests of tribes to the list of considerations for land exchanges.

The bill also requires each public land advisory board to include at least one representative of an interested Indian tribe.

Protecting Kids on Social Media Act

 
This bill requires social media platforms to verify the age of account holders and limits access to such platforms by children.
 
Specifically, social media platforms (1) must verify the age of account holders, (2) may not allow an individual to create or continue to use an account unless the individual's age has been verified, and (3) must limit access to the platform for children under the age of 13. Social media platforms may not use or retain any information collected during the age verification process for any other purpose.
 
Further, platforms must take reasonable steps to (1) require affirmative consent from the parent or guardian of a minor who is at least 13 years old to create an account for the minor on the platform, and (2) provide the parent or guardian with the ability to revoke such consent.
 
Social media platforms may not use the personal data of an individual in an algorithmic recommendation system unless the individual is at least 18 years old according to the platform's age verification process.
 
The bill requires the Department of Commerce to establish a voluntary pilot program to provide secure digital identification credentials for individuals to use when verifying their age on social media platforms. Commerce may issue rules for social media companies to enroll in the program.
 
The bill provides for enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general (or other authorized state officials).

Incentivize Motivated Parents with Responsible Options for Vital Education Safety for Schools Act or the IMPROVE Safety for Schools Act

This bill addresses school safety and security, with a particular focus on gun safety.

Specifically, the bill directs the U.S. Secret Service to provide guidance to local educational agencies (LEAs) that receive federal funds on preparing a notice to advise parents on purchasing and using a gun safety device. Each LEA that receives federal funds must submit this notice to each parent with a child attending a school served by the LEA.

Additionally, the bill allows certain individuals with a qualifying child or dependent a tax credit, up to $300 in a taxable year, for the purchase of any firearm safety device.

The bill allows LEAs to use Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants for (1) providing de-escalation training to teachers, administrators, and other staff; and (2) establishing school safety specialist positions.

Next, the bill requires LEAs that have expelled a student for bringing a firearm to school to provide the student and the student's parents with confidential mental health services (if the parents do not have the financial means to provide these services).

The bill allows funds under the Community Oriented Policing Services grant program to be used to implement a standardized training program for school resource officers.

The bill also requires certain federal agencies to conduct outreach to expand the social media presence of SchoolSafety.gov (a website that provides information, resources, and guidance focused on school safety).
