1: Lytton Rancheria of California land reaffirmation
This section would state that, no matter what any other law says, the Lytton Rancheria of California is subject to the Act of June 18, 1934, commonly known as the Indian Reorganization Act. It would let the Secretary of the Interior acquire land and take it into trust for the benefit of the Lytton Rancheria of California under section 5 of that Act. Any land taken into trust this way would become part of the Lytton Rancheria of California's reservation, and it would be managed under the same laws and regulations that generally apply to property the United States holds in trust for an Indian tribe.
