The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to place about 80 acres of BLM land and about 185 acres known as "Indian Creek Ranch" into trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians within 180 days. It cancels a 1964 government order covering part of the land and requires a land survey if needed before transfer. The land becomes part of the tribe's reservation but is explicitly barred from hosting class II or class III casino-style gaming.
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians gains expanded trust land and reservation status. The Bureau of Land Management and the Department of the Interior must carry out the review, survey, and transfer.
The land's federal classification shifts to tribal trust status, subjecting it to standard federal tribal land rules while permanently excluding it from gaming expansion.
