Bill > HR5511

This bill, titled the Oregon Coastal Lands Act, aims to transfer approximately 14,408 acres of federal land along the Oregon coast to be held in trust by the United States for the benefit of the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians, and to become part of their reservation. The Secretary of the Interior (referred to as the "Secretary") is tasked with completing a survey of the land's boundaries within one year of the act's enactment and filing a map and legal description with relevant congressional committees. While the land will be managed by the Confederated Tribes, certain federal laws will still apply, including those concerning the export of unprocessed logs and prohibiting gaming activities on the land. The bill also outlines a process for identifying and reclassifying other federal lands in Oregon, specifically Oregon and California Railroad grant land and public domain land, to be managed under specific federal laws.
