S 3230 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Winnebago Land Transfer Act of 2023

This bill transfers specific federal lands in Iowa to the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, placing them in federal trust for the tribe's benefit under the terms of the 1865 treaty. It directly affects the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska by expanding their reservation land holdings to include defined tracts in Woodbury County, Iowa. Key provisions include declaring these lands part of the historic Winnebago Reservation and explicitly prohibiting Class II and III gaming on the transferred lands under federal law. The bill implements a land transfer established through prior court cases, focusing on tribal land rights without altering gaming regulations on existing tribal lands.
