HR 2400 United States House · 119th Congress

Pit River Land Transfer Act of 2025

HR 2400, the Pit River Land Transfer Act of 2025, transfers approximately 583.79 acres of federal land (managed by the Forest Service) and 40.18 acres of tribal-owned fee land to the Pit River Tribe in federal trust. The land becomes part of the Pit River Tribe Reservation, administered under standard federal trust rules for tribes. The bill explicitly prohibits using this transferred land for tribal gaming operations under federal law. The transfer requires the Secretary of Agriculture to complete a survey within 180 days of enactment and the Tribe to request the fee land transfer.

MINOR

The Engrossed version removes the congressional findings section and eliminates the provision for transferring approximately 40.18 acres of tribal-owned fee land into trust. The bill now covers only the transfer of about 583.79 acres of federal Forest Service land into trust for the Pit River Tribe, narrowing its scope by excluding the fee land component.

Scope change

The bill's scope narrowed from covering both federal land (about 583.79 acres) and tribal fee land (about 40.18 acres) to covering only the federal land transfer into trust for the Pit River Tribe.

SCOPE

The entire findings section was deleted, removing congressional statements that the Four Corners land is in the Tribe's ancestral territory and that the Tribe has a historical and ongoing relationship with it.

The provision requiring the Secretary to accept title to approximately 40.18 acres of Four Corners Fee land (tribal-owned property) within 180 days of enactment, and then take it into trust, was removed entirely.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'Four Corners Fee land' (approximately 40.18 acres depicted as Tribal-Owned Property on the Map) was removed from the definitions section.
