To take certain land into trust for the benefit of the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians.
HR 6917 transfers approximately 3,156 acres of Bureau of Land Management land into federal trust for the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians, adding it to their reservation. The bill requires a boundary survey within 180 days and mandates a 300-foot renewable energy transmission corridor for a utility company, while prohibiting Class II and III gaming on the land. It also clarifies that the Tribe retains state water rights and does not affect existing water rights or a 2021 intergovernmental agreement with Las Vegas City. This law directly affects the Tribe by expanding their land base under federal trust management.
