HR 2302 United States House · 119th Congress

Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Land Transfer Act of 2025

This bill transfers approximately 204 acres of land (85.3 acres and 118.84 acres) into federal trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, Shingle Springs Rancheria, California. It revokes a 1964 public land order and requires the Secretary of the Interior to place the specified land into trust within 180 days of enactment, designating it as part of the Tribe's reservation. The transferred land is prohibited from being used for any class II or class III gaming under federal law. This directly affects the Tribe by granting them federal trust status over the land, subject to existing rights and administered under standard trust regulations.

MODERATE

The engrossed version significantly increases the total land area to be placed in trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, expanding from approximately 204 acres to approximately 265 acres by adding about 66 acres to the Indian Creek Ranch parcel while slightly reducing the BLM parcel. A new requirement was added mandating that the Secretary review and potentially survey the land before the 180-day transfer deadline, with the survey made available for public inspection. The referenced map was updated from a February 25, 2025 version to a May 2, 2025 version.

Scope change

Total land area placed in trust increased from approximately 204 acres to approximately 265 acres, with the Indian Creek Ranch parcel growing substantially while the BLM parcel shrank slightly. The new survey requirement adds a procedural step before the transfer deadline but does not change which lands are eligible.

SCOPE

The BLM land parcel decreased from approximately 85.3 acres to approximately 80 acres.

The Indian Creek Ranch parcel increased from approximately 118.84 acres to approximately 185 acres, a gain of roughly 66 acres.

REQUIREMENT

A new subsection (c) requires the Secretary to review the land before the 180-day deadline to determine if a survey is needed, perform the survey if required, make minor corrections for clerical or surveying errors, and keep the survey on file for public inspection at the appropriate BIA office.

TECHNICAL

The referenced BLM map date changed from February 25, 2025 to May 2, 2025, reflecting an updated map that presumably corresponds to the revised acreage figures.
