This legislation, known as the Pit River Land Transfer Act of 2025, mandates the Secretary of the Interior to acquire approximately 583.79 acres of federal land, referred to as the "Four Corners Federal land," and place it into trust for the benefit of the Pit River Tribe in California. This land, currently managed by the Forest Service, will be surveyed by the Secretary of Agriculture within 180 days of the Act's enactment to ensure precise boundaries. Once taken into trust, the land will be formally incorporated into the Pit River Tribe Reservation. It will then be administered by the Secretary of the Interior in accordance with the established laws and regulations governing property held in trust by the United States for Indian Tribes. A significant provision of the Act explicitly prohibits the use of this newly acquired trust land for any Class II or Class III gaming activities, as defined by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
