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.
