To take certain land into trust for the benefit of the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians.

# HR 6917 Summary **What the Bill Does:** This bill would transfer certain parcels of land into federal trust status for the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians. When land is held "in trust," the federal government legally owns it on behalf of a Native American tribe, allowing the tribe to govern and use the land while protecting it from being sold or taxed by the state. This is a common way the federal government addresses land claims and sovereignty for Native American tribes. **Who It Affects:** The bill directly benefits the Las Vegas Tribe of Paiute Indians, a federally recognized tribe in Nevada.

It may also affect Nevada state government (since the land would no longer be subject to state jurisdiction) and potentially local communities depending on the location and size of the land parcels involved. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Dina Titus (D-Nevada) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. Specific details about which land parcels are involved are not provided in the bill's summary information.
