What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryTransfers California land to Miwok tribe
This bill moves about 204 acres of land in El Dorado County, California into trust status for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. That means the federal government will hold the land for the tribe's benefit as part of their reservation. The land comes from two sources: federal property managed by the Bureau of Land Management and land the tribe already owns. The bill also says the tribe cannot use this land for gaming (like casinos).
