To take certain land in the State of California into trust for the benefit of the Pechanga Band of Indians, and for other purposes.

The bill would direct the federal government to take approximately 860 acres of Bureau of Land Management land in Riverside County, California, into trust for the benefit of the Pechanga Band of Indians, making it part of the tribe's reservation and subject to the laws generally governing tribal trust land.

The land would come with binding conditions: it must be maintained as open space and used only for purposes consistent with that status and for protecting archaeological, cultural, and wildlife resources, though construction or maintenance of compatible utilities or structures would still be allowed. Class II and class III gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act would be permanently prohibited on the land. Existing easements, rights-of-way, and water rights or service agreements would remain unaffected, and a map of the parcel would be kept on file for public inspection at Bureau of Land Management offices.

The Pechanga Band of Indians, which would gain trust title to the land as part of its reservation; the Bureau of Land Management, which currently administers the land and would transfer it; and holders of existing easements, rights-of-way, leases, or water agreements on the parcel, whose rights would be preserved unchanged.

For the Pechanga Band, the transfer would expand tribal trust land and reservation boundaries, but the open-space and no-gaming restrictions mean the land could not be developed commercially or used for casino operations. The arrangement illustrates how Congress can attach permanent use restrictions when approving land-into-trust transfers for tribes.

The Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management, would transfer title to the approximately 860-acre parcel depicted on a specified 2025 map into trust status for the Pechanga Band. The land would then be administered under standard federal rules for tribal trust property, subject to the open-space and resource-protection conditions and gaming prohibition written into the Act. The Bureau of Land Management would retain the map on file for public inspection, and existing easements, leases, and water agreements would continue to apply without alteration.
