Transfers land to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians.
The problem
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians seeks federal recognition of land rights and control over specific territory for tribal governance and economic development.
The proposal
The bill authorizes transfer of specified land to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, establishing it as tribal trust land under federal law.
The impact
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians gains land control and sovereignty. Local governments may lose jurisdiction. Federal and tribal governments assume new responsibilities.
The tribe gains ability to govern the transferred land according to tribal law and traditions. This supports tribal sovereignty and self-determination, core principles of federal Indian policy.
Tribe-controlled land enables economic projects like gaming, housing, or business ventures. This can create jobs and revenue for tribal members and community services.
The transfer acknowledges the tribe's historical land claims and legitimizes their status. It fulfills federal trust responsibilities toward Native American nations.
Secure land base strengthens tribal institutions and allows long-term planning for education, healthcare, and infrastructure for tribal members.
Transferred land becomes tax-exempt trust land, reducing property tax revenue for local counties and municipalities. This affects funding for schools and services in the region.
Overlapping tribal, state, and federal authority creates legal complexity for law enforcement, environmental rules, and land use decisions. This can cause conflicts.
Land under tribal control may restrict public access to fishing, hunting, or recreational areas previously available. This affects regional recreation and wildlife management.
Federal government must provide resources for land surveys, title work, and ongoing administration. Costs and timelines for transfer may be substantial.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
