This legislation, titled the Albuquerque Indian School Act of 2025, mandates the transfer of approximately 9.89 acres of Federal land, historically part of the Albuquerque Indian School, into trust for the 19 New Mexico Indian Pueblos . Within 90 days of enactment and the relocation of Federal tenants, the Administrator of General Services will transfer administrative jurisdiction of three specific tracts to the Secretary of the Interior. Upon receiving jurisdiction, the Secretary of the Interior will hold all right, title, and interest in these tracts in trust for the benefit of the designated Pueblos. The transferred land is intended for use in the educational, health, cultural, business, and economic development of the 19 Pueblos and will be subject to existing Federal laws applicable to Indian trust land in New Mexico. Importantly, the bill explicitly prohibits all forms of gaming (Class I, II, and III) on this land, and it remains subject to existing easements and encumbrances.
