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

# Bill Summary: HR 5682 - Pechanga Band Land Trust **What the Bill Would Do** HR 5682 would transfer specific land in California into federal trust status for the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians. When land is placed "in trust," the federal government holds legal ownership on behalf of a tribe, giving the tribe certain rights to use and manage the property. This is a common mechanism for establishing or expanding tribal lands. **Who It Affects** The bill directly affects the Pechanga Band of Indians, a federally recognized tribe in Southern California.

It may also impact local property owners and California state and local governments, depending on which specific lands are involved and what activities might occur there. **Status** The bill was introduced by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill's full text would need to be reviewed to determine exact acreage, location, and other specific provisions.
