Transfers 18,628 acres of federal land to be held in trust for the Grand Ronde Tribes in Oregon.
This bill would put about 18,628 acres of federal land in Oregon into a special trust for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community. This means the land would become part of the Grand Ronde Reservation, giving the Tribes more say in how it's used. People could still hunt and fish there, but the Tribes could set rules for safety or wildlife.
Today, about 18,628 acres of federal land in Oregon are managed by the Department of Agriculture and are not held in trust for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon. This land is subject to federal land use planning laws. If this bill becomes law, these 18,628 acres would be transferred to the Department of the Interior and then placed into trust for the Grand Ronde Tribes, becoming part of their reservation. The Tribes would then manage the land, including public access for recreation, and it would no longer be under certain federal land use planning rules.
