## Summary

**This bill would authorize the transfer of about 847 acres of federal land into trust for the Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians**, establishing those parcels as reservation land under federal trust rules. It would also preserve public and Forest Service access, require tribal maintenance of a fuel break, and prohibit Class II and III gaming on the transferred land. - Tribe: Gives the Tribe trust title to the covered parcels and the ability to administer them under laws that govern Indian trust land. It explicitly bans Class II and Class III gaming on the transferred land. - Public and recreation users: Keeps public access for recreational, scenic, scientific, motorized road use, and trail passage on preexisting Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service routes. Existing liens, rights-of-way, leases, permits, and easements remain in effect. - Federal land management and emergency services: Preserves Forest Service vehicular access and allows the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to make minor map or boundary adjustments by agreement. The Tribe must maintain the fuel break on Parcels 2 and 3 to Forest Service standards, and easements may be granted to ensure operational and emergency access.
