Bill > S3219

This bill transfers approximately 9.89 acres of federal land historically part of the Albuquerque Indian School to the Secretary of the Interior, who will hold the land in trust for the benefit of the 19 Pueblos (a list of Native American tribes in New Mexico including Acoma, Cochiti, Isleta, and others). The land transfer must occur within 90 days of enactment and after federal tenants are relocated, and consists of three specific tracts: one 3.57-acre tract with a warehouse, a 5.78-acre tract, and a 0.54-acre tract, all located in Albuquerque. The transferred land will be subject to existing rights-of-way, easements, and utility agreements, and can be used for educational, health, cultural, business, and economic development purposes for the 19 Pueblos. The bill explicitly prohibits any form of gaming (Class I, II, or III) on the transferred land and requires the Secretary to obtain an official survey of the land, which will be recorded in Bernalillo County's public records. The land will remain subject to federal laws applicable to Indian trust lands in New Mexico.
