Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would place about 3,156 acres of federal land now managed by the Bureau of Land Management into trust for the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians and make it part of the Tribe's reservation. The Secretary of the Interior would have 180 days to survey the land's boundaries. As a condition, the Tribe would have to grant an electric utility a right-of-way about 300 feet wide for high-voltage power lines within 30 days. Class II and class III gaming would be banned on the land, the Tribe would keep any state-law water rights, and an earlier 2015 law section on the land would be repealed.
