This bill transfers approximately 836 acres of land in California into federal trust for the Barona Group of Capitan Grande Band of Mission Indians. The legislation takes administrative control of three specific parcels—totaling around 160, 160, and 516 acres respectively—and makes them part of the tribe's reservation to be managed under standard federal trust regulations. The transferred land will remain subject to existing public access rights for recreation, trails, and motorized roads, as well as emergency access for government agencies conducting search and rescue or wildfire suppression operations. The bill explicitly prohibits the tribe from using the land for any form of gaming activities under federal gaming laws. No new funding is appropriated by this legislation, and it does not alter any existing water rights or service agreements currently in place.
