The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to place about 80 acres of BLM land and roughly 185 acres called "Indian Creek Ranch" into trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians within 180 days of enactment. It cancels a 1964 federal order restricting use of one parcel, and the land becomes part of the tribe's reservation under standard trust-land rules. A land survey must be completed if needed, with results available for public review, and the land cannot be used for class II or class III gaming.
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians and the Bureau of Land Management, which currently oversees the property, are directly affected.
Converting the land to federal trust status could change how it is taxed, zoned, and regulated, which may affect nearby California communities and local governments.
