HR 2302 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing.

Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians Land Transfer Act of 2025
Summary
This bill transfers approximately 265 acres of federal land in California into trust for the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, comprising about 80 acres of Bureau of Land Management land and about 185 acres of Indian Creek Ranch land. The Secretary of the Interior must complete the transfer within 180 days of enactment and may conduct a survey to verify the land boundaries and correct any clerical or surveying errors. Once transferred, the land becomes part of the Tribe's reservation and will be administered by the Interior Department according to standard trust property laws and regulations. The transferred land is prohibited from being used for any class II or class III gaming operations under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The bill revokes a 1964 Public Land Order and transfers federal jurisdiction over the affected land to the Interior Department.
