‘Sec. 3. 30 MRSA §6205, sub-§1, ¶D-1  is enacted to read:
 
D-1.  Land acquired by the secretary for the benefit of the Passamaquoddy Tribe in Centerville consisting of Parcels A, B and C conveyed by Bertram C. Tackeff to the Passamaquoddy Tribe by quitclaim deed dated July 27, 1981, recorded in the Washington County Registry of Deeds in Book 1147, Page 251, to the extent that the land is acquired by the secretary prior to January 31, 2017, is not held in common with any other person or entity and is certified by the secretary by January 31, 2017 as held for the benefit of the Passamaquoddy Tribe.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment specifies that the land eligible for trust status consists of particular parcels listed in the deed from Bertram C. Tackeff to the Passamaqoddy Tribe.
This amendment also enacts the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 30, section 6205, subsection 1, paragraph D-1 rather than paragraph E to avoid a potential conflict.
