S 4053: A bill to take certain land in the State of California into trust for the benefit of the Pechanga Band of Indians, and for other purposes.

This bill would transfer approximately 860 acres of federal land in Riverside County, California, into trust for the Pechanga Band of Indians. Once taken into trust, the land would become part of the tribe's reservation and be managed according to federal laws governing property held for Native American tribes. The legislation includes specific conditions requiring the land to remain open space dedicated to protecting archaeological, cultural, and wildlife resources, while explicitly prohibiting any gaming activities on the property. Existing water rights, service agreements, and current land use restrictions would remain unchanged, and the map identifying the land would be kept on file for public inspection.

HR 10518: Diversify Act

The Diversify Act expands the federal TEACH Grant program by doubling the maximum annual award to $8,000 and increasing the total grant limit to $32,000 for eligible teacher candidates.
