Pit River Land Transfer Act of 2025

House Votes

This bill places a specific piece of federal land in California, called the Four Corners area, into federal trust for the Pit River Tribe. Once in trust, the land becomes part of the Tribe’s reservation and is managed like other tribal trust lands by the Interior Department. It keeps any existing rights on the land in place, and it bans gambling on this land under federal gaming rules.

The Agriculture Department must complete a full survey of the land within 180 days after the bill becomes law. The Tribe is defined to include the XL Ranch, Big Bend, Likely, Lookout, Montgomery Creek, and Roaring Creek Rancherias.

• Who is affected: The Pit River Tribe and nearby communities in the Four Corners area of California.
• What changes: The land is taken into trust, becomes part of the reservation, and cannot be used for gambling.
• When: A land survey is due within 180 days after enactment.
