The law places about 172.10 acres in San Diego County into federal trust for the Jamul Indian Village. These four parcels are now part of the tribe’s reservation. Federal rules for tribal trust land apply. If the tribe transfers a 1.1-acre parcel shown on a May 2023 state map, the Interior Secretary must also take that land into trust for the tribe.
The law bans Class II and Class III gaming on the listed trust lands. This covers about 172.10 acres and any added 1.1-acre parcel. The ban applies now.

118-s-141, Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act
Expands and funds veterans' access to community, home-based, and caregiver services while strengthening quality standards and oversight. It tightens community-care rules and scheduling, raises noninstitutional care caps, boosts caregiver mental-health support, and adds targeted housing and homelessness tools. - Veterans and families: Changes the Veterans Community Care Program so veterans and their referring clinicians make final eligibility determinations for a two-year period starting 90 days after enactment, requires stronger outreach, scheduling preferences, and industry-parity data standards, and authorizes rural ambulance reimbursement with a $46,000 lifetime cap. Mobile mammography gets $5.0 million for FY2025. - Caregivers and home-based care: Raises the baseline noninstitutional alternative cap from 65% to 100% and creates new home- and community-based programs like Veteran-Directed Care and Homemaker and Home Health Aide services. Caregiver mental-health grants are funded at $10.0 million for each of FY2025 and FY2026. - Housing, homelessness, education, and workforce: Reforms Native American direct-loan rules and authorizes a Native CDFI relending program with up to $5.0 million for FY2025. Homeless-veteran per diem rates increase and outreach gets $10.0 million each for FY2026 and FY2027. The law also creates a High Technology education program for up to 4,000 participants per year and expands pay and USERRA protections and remedies for VA staff and service members. Authorizes at least $50.0 million in new appropriations across FY2025–FY2027, increasing federal spending.

118-s-2781, Good Samaritan Remediation of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act of 2024
Creates a limited pilot Good Samaritan permit program to let qualified groups remediate abandoned hardrock mine sites under EPA oversight, while setting monitoring rules, liability limits, and a dedicated remediation fund. - Communities and drinking water systems get clearer protections and notice. Projects must show they protect public health and meet water quality goals, and local governments with drinking water jurisdiction and nearby tribes must be notified and may comment. - Good Samaritans must prove experience, capacity, and financial assurance and follow strict monitoring and corrective-action rules. Permits can provide specified Clean Water Act and CERCLA-related protections during the permit term but noncompliance can remove those protections. - Federal land projects require the relevant land agency to sign decisions and transfers. The law limits the pilot to up to 15 Good Samaritan permits and creates a Good Samaritan Mine Remediation Fund with appropriations, reprocessing proceeds, assurances, O&M funds, and donations as sources.
118-s-4243, Shirley Chisholm Congressional Gold Medal Act
Honors Shirley Chisholm with a Congressional Gold Medal.

After presentation the medal is given to the Smithsonian for display and research, and the Smithsonian is encouraged to make it available at other locations and events tied to Chisholm. The law also lets the U.S. Mint produce and sell bronze duplicates to cover production costs and charges costs and deposits to the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
118-s-612, Lake Tahoe Restoration Reauthorization Act
