(LATEST SUMMARY) Establishes within the Department of the Interior an additional Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs. Revises the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act by establishing a thirteenth region for Natives who, in accordance with the provisions of such act, are non-residents of Alaska. Directs the Secretary of the Interior to afford all enrolled non-resident Natives an opportunity to inform him within 180 days after enactment of this Act whether or not they wish to be enrolled in the thirteenth region. Prescribes the procedure for electing the five incorporators of the thirteenth regional corporation, who are also to serve as its initial directors. Requires the Secretary to make any necessary adjustments in future distributions of sums from the Alaska Native Fund to reflect changes in enrollment made pursuant to this Act. Provides for the cancellation of stock previously issued by Native Corporations to Natives who are enrolled in the thirteenth region. Exempts through 1976 corporations organized under the Settlement Act from the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Where is it in the process, and what happens next?
The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.
The record's latest action, on December 20, 1974: Senate agreed to conference report.
How likely is it to become law?
Civibrief does not forecast outcomes and this page has no opinion about this one. What the record supports is a base rate, which is a fact about the whole pile, not a prediction about this measure.
In the 93rd Congress (1973-74), 651 of the 23,396 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 2.8 percent. That count covers every measure at every stage, including the many that never left committee.
This one has no outstanding steps listed above.
Has anyone actually voted on it?
No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.
A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.
Who is behind it?
JULIA HANSEN (D-WA) introduced it on January 3, 1973. No cosponsors are recorded.
Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.
How long has it been in play?
It was introduced on January 3, 1973, 19656 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 18940 days ago, on December 20, 1974.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 93rd Congress has not finished by January 3, 1975 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
Every answer above is assembled from this measure's own record on Congress.gov and from published counts of what Congress has passed before. Civibrief does not predict outcomes and takes no position on any measure.
