HR 2400 would transfer two parcels of land in northern California into federal trust status for the Pit River Tribe. The first parcel is about 584 acres currently managed by the U.S. Forest Service; the second is about 40 acres the tribe already owns. Both parcels would become part of the official Pit River Tribe Reservation, and the federal land must be surveyed within 180 days of passage. The transferred land cannot be used for casino-style or bingo-style gambling under federal Indian gaming law.
This bill primarily affects the Pit River Tribe, a federally recognized tribe made up of several communities in northern California, along with the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of the Interior. Neighboring landowners and current users of the Forest Service land could also be affected, as land management would shift from a federal agency to tribal administration.
The land would shift from U.S. Forest Service management to tribal administration under federal trust rules, changing how it is governed and used. Existing road easements and public rights-of-way are excluded from the transfer, though other access and use arrangements for neighboring landowners could change.
