Next up: The Senate

The House passed this bill in May 2026 and sent it to the Senate for further review. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs must now decide whether to move the bill forward for a full vote. It is unclear if the Senate will take action because many bills passed by the House never receive a vote in the Senate.

Likely to pass

The bill has already passed the House and moved to the Senate. Land transfer bills with specific no-gaming clauses and local support usually pass without much trouble.

Key Points

This bill moves about 265 acres of federal land in California to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. The land includes 80 acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management and 185 acres from the Indian Creek Ranch.
Once the transfer is finished, this land will officially become part of the Tribe's reservation. The Secretary of the Interior will look after the land for the Tribe's benefit, similar to how other tribal lands are managed across the country.
The law strictly forbids the Tribe from using this specific land for gambling or casinos. This rule ensures the land is used for other needs, such as housing or community projects, instead of gaming businesses.
The government has 180 days after the bill becomes law to complete the transfer. During this time, officials will double check the maps and land boundaries to make sure everything is legally accurate.
