Bill Summary
Amends the Siletz Tribe Indian Restoration Act to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to take into trust for the Siletz Tribe additional lands that lie within the original 1855 Siletz Coast Reservation and are located in Benton, Douglas, Lane, Lincoln, Tillamook, or Yamhill County in Oregon. Requires such land to be considered and evaluated as an on-reservation acquisition and become part of the Tribe's reservation. (Off-reservation land acquisition requests require the Secretary to give greater scrutiny to the tribe's justification of the anticipated benefits from the acquisition.) Prohibits gaming on lands taken into trust pursuant to this Act.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Siletz Tribe Indian Restoration Act to allow the Secretary of the Interior to accept land into trust for the Siletz Tribe, provided that the land is located within the original 1855 Siletz Coast Reservation boundaries and falls within Benton, Douglas, Lane, Lincoln, Tillamook, or Yamhill County in Oregon. Land taken into trust under this provision will be treated as an "on-reservation acquisition," meaning it will be considered part of the tribe's existing reservation and subject to less stringent review than if it were off-reservation land. However, any property acquired through this process will be prohibited from being used for gaming activities regulated by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).
