Legislative Progress
Local land transfer bills often pass when they have the support of both state senators and include restrictions like the ban on gambling found here.
Key Points
- This bill would transfer nearly 10 acres of federal land in Albuquerque to 19 Native American Pueblos in New Mexico. The land was originally part of the Albuquerque Indian School and is currently owned by the federal government.
- Once the land is transferred, the 19 Pueblos can use it for schools, health care, cultural activities, or business projects. This helps the tribes manage their own land and create new jobs or services for their members.
- The bill includes a strict rule that no gambling or casinos can be built on this property. It also ensures that any current federal offices or equipment on the site are moved before the tribes take over.
