Latest action. Measure laid on table in House, S. 2055 passed in lieu.
(Measure passed House, amended) Declares certain lands to be held in trust for the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to accept certain lands, known as Government Hill, conveyed to the United States from the city of Siletz, and hold such lands in trust for the Tribe. Directs the Secretary to pay to the city of Siletz, Oregon, an appropriate amount for expenses incurred by the city in such conveyance. Declares that all such lands (including those to be conveyed to the Secretary) shall constitute the reservation of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon. Provides that the establishment of the Siletz Reservation does not grant or restore the tribe any hunting, fishing, or trapping rights beyond those rights set forth by the final judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon on May 2, 1980. Specifies that the State of Oregon has civil and criminal jurisdiction with respect to the Siletz Reservation in accordance with applicable provisions of law.

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.

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 96th Congress (1979-80), 613 of the 12,581 bills and joint resolutions introduced became law, about 4.9 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?
LES AUCOIN (D-OR) introduced it on May 6, 1980. 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 May 6, 1980, 16928 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 16824 days ago, on August 18, 1980.
Measures do not carry over. Anything the 96th Congress has not finished by January 3, 1981 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.
