S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7759 2023-2024 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y June 6, 2023 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. JONES -- (at request of the Governor) -- read once and referred to the Committee on Governmental Operations AN ACT relating to settlement of certain land claims THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Land claims settlement. The legislature hereby finds that long-standing disputes between the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne, and the Mohawk Nation Council of Chiefs, and the state of New York, Franklin county and St. Lawrence county, have gener- ated litigation in state and federal courts regarding property and other taxation, and that the status of Mohawk lands has caused decades of unrest and uncertainty for the citizens and residents of the Northern New York region of this state. The legislature further finds that it is in the best interests of all citizens, residents and political subdivi- sions of this state to remove any uncertainty that such litigation or disputes have created regarding the title to and jurisdictional status of land within the state. The legislature recognizes that negotiated settlement of these disputes will facilitate a cooperative relationship between the state, the counties and the Mohawk. Therefore, the legisla- ture declares that: (a) Notwithstanding any other law, the state, through the governor, may execute a land claims settlement agreement including, but not limit- ed to, terms consistent with memoranda of understanding between the governor, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and Saint Lawrence county executed on May 28, 2014 and Resolution 188, as adopted by the Franklin County Board of Legislature on June 5, 2023. (b) Such land claims settlement shall be deemed ratified by the legis- lature upon the governor's certification to the temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, and the secretary of state, that such agreement has received requisite federal approvals and the underlying litigation has been dismissed with prejudice.
