Tonto Apache Land Transfer Act
This bill transfers specific National Forest lands in Arizona to the Tonto Apache Tribe. The Secretary of Agriculture must transfer administrative control of designated parcels (totaling about 2,000 acres across 18 sections in Gila County) to the Secretary of the Interior, who will hold the land in trust for the tribe. The land will become part of the tribe's reservation and be withdrawn from public use, including mining, entry, or disposal under federal land laws. This directly affects the Tonto Apache Tribe by expanding their reservation land holdings under federal trust management.
