What does this do?
S 2735 directs the federal government to transfer about 265 acres of California land into trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, cancelling an older 1964 land order. The Secretary of the Interior must place an 80-acre BLM parcel and a 185-acre parcel called "Indian Creek Ranch" into trust within 180 days of enactment, adding the land to the tribe's reservation. A land survey must be completed and made public first if one is needed, and the bill bans class II and class III gaming on this land.
Who does it affect?
The bill directly affects the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians near Sacramento. It also affects nearby landowners, El Dorado County local government, and the Bureau of Land Management and Department of the Interior, which manage the transfer.
Why does it matter?
Converting this land to trust status would change local tax status and land-use jurisdiction for the affected parcels, while explicitly barring the tribe from using the land for gaming operations.
