Grand Ronde Land Transfer Act of 2026

The Grand Ronde Land Transfer Act of 2026 transfers approximately 18,628 acres of federal land from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of the Interior to be held in trust for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. This action expands the Grand Ronde Reservation and subjects the new lands to laws governing tribal trust property, while requiring a formal survey within two years to establish precise boundaries. The bill prohibits the use of the transferred land for casino or other regulated gaming activities and maintains federal restrictions on the export of unprocessed logs. Additionally, it requires the tribe to maintain public access for hunting, fishing, and recreation, though they may restrict entry for safety or management reasons.
