This bill would move about 265 acres of federal land in California into trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. Once in trust, the land becomes part of the Tribe’s reservation and is managed under the usual rules for tribal trust lands. The Department of the Interior must complete this transfer within 180 days after the bill becomes law. Before or during the transfer, the Department will review whether a land survey is needed and, if needed, complete it and keep the survey on file for the public to see. The land cannot be used for casino-style gaming under federal gaming law .

The bill also cancels a 1964 public land order and shifts control of the land to the Interior Department so the transfer can happen. The specific parcels are roughly 80 acres of Bureau of Land Management land and about 185 acres known as Indian Creek Ranch, both shown on a federal map from May 2, 2025 .
