What the chamber passed
Pit River Land Transfer Act of 2025
What this does
The bill takes approximately 583.79 acres of Forest Service land in California, known as the Four Corners land, into trust for the benefit of the Pit River Tribe, subject to any valid existing rights in the land. The Secretary of Agriculture must deliver a complete survey of the land to the Secretary of the Interior within 180 days of enactment. Once in trust, the land becomes part of the Pit River Tribe Reservation and is administered under the laws generally applicable to tribal trust land. Class II and class III gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act is prohibited on the land. The transfer excludes about 20.03 acres of roads, highways, and public rights-of-way within the boundary.

Reported lobbying
At least
2
organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing.
A floor, not a total. Those organizations were counted by the client name on 5 quarterly reports filed by 2 lobbying firms in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, so an organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position (a filer may describe one in its own words), so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. Our copy holds 2 fewer filings for 2025 Q4 and 7 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
