North Dakota Trustland's Completion Act has returned to the house and will be voted on this week (as soon as later today). They need a 2/3's vote. We need Representatives from other states to hear from their constituents and their opposition to Federal lands transfers that skirt public processes and throw favor to specific entities.
If Passed - the state gains tens of thousands of BLM lands that can now be sold or closed. The Tribe gains 31,000 acres of State trust land inside reservations. The public hunter is left with less public land, less access, and management decisions on that land that no longer consider wildlife.

NDBHA's objection to this bill summarized:
1. Once transferred to state trust department, tens of thousands of acres of land that have always been open for public hunting can be closed by lessee.
2. Once transferred, state trust department could sell lands
3. Management will no longer prioritize public access or wildlife
4. There is no way for the public to be involved in the decision making around land WE OWN!
