Bill > HR2400

This bill transfers approximately 583.79 acres of federal land in California, currently managed by the U.S. Forest Service, into trust for the Pit River Tribe. The land transfer, which excludes about 20.03 acres of roads and public rights-of-way, will be completed after the Secretary of Agriculture provides a survey within 180 days of enactment. Once transferred, the land will be considered part of the Pit River Tribe Reservation and administered according to standard federal regulations for tribal trust lands. Importantly, the bill explicitly prohibits the transferred land from being used for any class II or class III gaming activities, as defined by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The Pit River Tribe, which includes several local rancherias (small Native American land holdings), will benefit from this land transfer, with the Secretary of the Interior overseeing the process. The specific land area is detailed on a Forest Service map dated November 6, 2024, titled "Proposed Land Conveyance to the Pit River Tribe."
