Transfer land into tribal trust

If enacted, the Secretary of the Interior would, not later than 180 days after enactment, place into federal trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians about 80 acres (labeled "BLM Land") and about 185 acres (labeled "Indian Creek Ranch"). The land would be declared part of the Tribe's Reservation and administered as trust land under federal rules. The Secretary would review whether a survey is needed, perform any required survey, may fix clerical or surveying errors, and keep the survey on file for public inspection. The transfer would be subject to valid existing rights and the land could not be used for class II or class III gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Cancel 1964 federal land order

If enacted, the bill would revoke Public Land Order 3309 dated January 17, 1964, and transfer jurisdiction over the land described in that order to the Secretary of the Interior upon enactment. The revocation and transfer would operate notwithstanding any other provision of law. This change mainly affects agencies and people or entities with legal interests in that specific land.
