The House passed H.R.4002, a bill to benefit the Miami Nation of Oklahoma, by a voice vote on Monday.

The bill allows the tribe to revoke the charter that was approved under the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act. The original document is outdated but changing it requires numerous steps, Chief Douglas Lankford said at a hearing in March.

The bill awaits consideration in the Senate.
