Latest action on S. 2871: Committee on Indian Affairs. Hearings held.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the Pit River Tribe because it would add the Four Corners Federal land to the tribe’s reservation. It also affects the Interior Department, which would manage the land as tribal trust land, and the Forest Service, which would no longer manage it. Local governments, nearby residents, and people who use roads or public rights-of-way near the land could also be affected because those access areas stay outside the trust transfer.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it changes who controls this land and how it can be used. The Pit River Tribe would gain a stronger legal tie to the Four Corners Federal land. The land could support tribal housing, cultural, conservation, or community plans. At the same time, the bill blocks casino-style gaming and keeps existing roads and public access corridors outside the transfer.
