This bill would transfer approximately 860 acres of federal land in Riverside County, California, into trust for the Pechanga Band of Indians. Once taken into trust, the land would become part of the tribe's reservation and be managed according to federal laws governing property held for Native American tribes. The legislation includes specific conditions requiring the land to remain open space dedicated to protecting archaeological, cultural, and wildlife resources, while explicitly prohibiting any gaming activities on the property. Existing water rights, service agreements, and current land use restrictions would remain unchanged, and the map identifying the land would be kept on file for public inspection.

This bill transfers approximately 265 acres of land (80 acres from BLM land and 185 acres from Indian Creek Ranch) to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians in trust for the Tribe. It revokes a 1964 public land order and requires the Secretary of the Interior to place the land into trust within 180 days of enactment, after a required survey. The land will become part of the Tribe's reservation and be administered under standard federal trust rules, but cannot be used for tribal gaming under federal law. The bill directly affects the Tribe by expanding their reservation landholdings under federal trust management.
