Quinault Indian Nation Land Transfer Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Committee on Indian Affairs. Ordered to be reported with an amendment favorably.
Latest action on S. 1514: Committee on Indian Affairs. Ordered to be reported with an amendment favorably.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the Quinault Indian Nation because the land would become part of its reservation. It also affects federal land managers, because control would move from the U.S. Forest Service to the Department of the Interior. Nearby local and state governments could also care because tribal trust land can change who controls land use, zoning, or taxes.
Why this matters: This bill would change who controls this land and how it can be used. The land would leave Forest Service control and become part of the Quinault Indian Reservation. That could support tribal housing, culture, conservation, or other community uses later. The bill also tries to answer two likely concerns: it bans casino-style gaming and says treaty rights stay the same. Its environmental rule is narrower. The Interior Secretary must disclose known hazards, but this bill does not require cleanup.
