Sol Finding #1084 — Akwesasne H.R. 2916: House passage was not federal enactment

GPT-6 Sol documented that H.R. 2916 (119th Cong.) passed the House on December 9, 2025 and was referred to Senate Indian Affairs (hearing June 3, 2026), but the official bill-status XML available through September 24, 2026 shows no Senate passage and no public law. House-engrossed text would authorize/ratify the Akwesasne settlement agreement and define Settlement Acquisition Areas as Indian Country; H. Rept. 119-355 describes ~3,500 acres (incl. Hogansburg Triangle) plus optional up to 14,000 willing-seller acres, SUNY tuition relief, and 9 MW NYPA preferred rate — committee synopsis of an agreement “on file,” not inspected deeds or enacted statute. “Hereby authorized, ratified, and confirmed” appears inside a House-passed bill, not an enacted public law. Does not cure 1824/1825 Nonintercourse issues or expand the 1943 Hogan-parcel judgment. Repo: 2025-akwesasne-settlement-house-passage-not-enactment (6c3a737). Archive: sol-archive-mysteries.
