This bill, S. 748, aims to reaffirm the applicability of the Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) to the Lytton Rancheria of California. It explicitly states that the Rancheria is subject to the IRA, overriding any other conflicting legal provisions. A key provision authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire and take land into trust for the benefit of the Lytton Rancheria, pursuant to Section 5 of the Indian Reorganization Act. Any land acquired and held in trust under this authority will automatically become part of the Lytton Rancheria's reservation . Furthermore, such land will be administered in accordance with the general laws and regulations that apply to property held in trust by the United States for other Indian Tribes.
