Imagine the government as a landlord who rents out big sandboxes to dig for hidden treasures, like oil and gas. The Royalty Resiliency Act wants to make sure everyone pays the right amount for playing in the sandboxes and lets the landlord decide who gets what treasure faster, without any late fees if they need more time to figure it out.

This bill allows Native American tribes to rent out their lands for up to 99 years for different uses, without needing to ask the government every time, except for grazing, which can only be rented for 10 years. It aims to help tribes make decisions easily and boost their land's economic uses.

The bill changes an old law allowing tribes to rent their land for longer, up to 99 years, for things like businesses or farming, and lets them make some land use decisions without asking the U.S. government first, but it also raises concerns about keeping the environment safe.

H.R. 7409 is a plan to make it easier for people to explore and use hot water and steam from underground to make energy by letting them skip some federal rules, but they still need to follow state rules and pay fees to the government. However, it won't apply to special lands like Indian lands, and there are worries about how it might affect wildlife and old, important places.
