Transfers federal land in California to the Pit River Indian Tribe.
The problem
The Pit River Indian Tribe lacks sufficient land for economic development and self-governance. Federal lands in their traditional territory remain under government control instead of tribal ownership.
The proposal
The bill transfers specific federal lands in California to the Pit River Indian Tribe, giving them ownership and control over the property for tribal purposes.
The impact
The Pit River Indian Tribe gains land ownership and control. Local communities and federal land management may be affected by the transfer of government-controlled property.
Land ownership strengthens tribal self-determination and allows the Pit River Indian Tribe to make decisions about their territory. This supports the tribe's ability to govern themselves and preserve their culture.
The tribe can develop the land for economic projects like tourism, conservation, or resource management. This may create jobs and revenue for tribal members and communities.
Returning land to a tribe whose ancestors inhabited the region addresses historical injustices from federal land policies. This recognizes tribal claims to traditional territories.
Tribes often manage lands sustainably using traditional knowledge. Tribal ownership may result in conservation practices that protect the ecosystem.
The federal government loses control over these lands and cannot use them for national parks, forests, or other federal purposes. This reduces government flexibility in land management.
Nearby residents may worry about changes in land use, access restrictions, or reduced tax revenue from transferred property. Local economies dependent on federal land management could be affected.
No official summary exists, making it unclear exactly which lands transfer, what conditions apply, or how disputes will be resolved. This uncertainty complicates evaluation of full impacts.
Transferring lands raises questions about environmental cleanup costs, infrastructure maintenance, and liability for historical land use. The bill's handling of these practical issues is unclear.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
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.
