Updated: Jun 9, 2026

Summary

This bill mandates that approximately 3,156 acres of land currently administered by the Bureau of Land Management be taken into trust by the United States for the benefit of the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians. Upon enactment, this land will become an integral part of the Tribe's reservation, subject to existing valid rights. A significant condition of this land transfer is the prohibition of Class II and Class III gaming on the newly acquired trust land. Additionally, the Tribe must grant a 300-foot-wide right-of-way for a renewable energy transmission corridor to a qualified electric utility within 30 days of the bill's enactment. Regarding water rights, the bill explicitly states it neither affirms nor denies federal reserved surface or groundwater rights but ensures the Tribe retains any water rights or claims under State law. The Secretary of the Interior is required to complete a survey of the land boundaries within 180 days, and a section of the Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 is repealed.
