Grand Ronde Land Transfer Act of 2026

This bill would move about 18,628 acres of federal land in Oregon from the control of the Secretary of Agriculture to the Secretary of the Interior and have the United States hold it in trust for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. The land, including its mineral rights such as oil and gas, would become part of the Grand Ronde Reservation. The Secretary would have to survey the land within 2 years and reach an access agreement with the Tribe within 180 days. The land could not be used for class II or class III gaming, federal rules on exporting unprocessed logs would apply, and the land would stay open to the public for hunting, fishing, and recreation, though the Tribe could restrict access for safety, administration, wildlife management, or emergencies.
