Quinault Indian Nation Land Transfer Act

This legislation mandates the administrative transfer of approximately 72 acres of land in Washington State from the Forest Service to the Department of the Interior. This specific parcel, identified as "Allotment 1157," will then be taken into trust for the benefit of the Quinault Indian Nation . Upon transfer, the land will officially become part of the Quinault Indian Reservation and will be administered by the Secretary of the Interior in accordance with laws governing trust property for Indian Tribes. A significant provision of the bill is the explicit prohibition of gaming activities on this newly acquired trust land under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Furthermore, the bill ensures that this land transfer will not affect any existing treaty rights of the Quinault Indian Nation and outlines specific requirements for hazardous material disclosure without mandating remediation by the Secretary.
