Takes about 19,080 acres of Ute Mountain Ute Tribe land into federal trust if the Tribe requests it (with a one-year deadline) but bars gaming on that land, and creates a package of new public-land designations in Colorado. The law names and maps multiple Special Management Areas, Wildlife Conservation Areas, Protection Areas, Recreation Management Areas, a scientific research area, and several wilderness additions; it sets rules for allowed uses, limits motorized and bicycle travel to designated routes, requires certain management plans and surveys, and withdraws specified land from oil and gas leasing or adds no-surface-occupancy limits.
