Puyallup Tribe of Indians Land Into Trust Confirmation Act of 2023

This bill takes approximately 17.264 acres of land in Pierce County, Washington, owned by the Puyallup Tribe, into federal trust for the tribe's benefit. The land, described in three specific parcels, becomes part of the Puyallup Tribe Reservation and is managed under standard federal trust policies for tribal lands. The bill explicitly states the U.S. government will not be liable for environmental contamination on the land prior to its trust status, and prohibits using the land for tribal gaming activities under federal law. It directly affects the Puyallup Tribe by expanding their reservation land base under established federal trust procedures.
