Colorado River Indian Reservation Boundary Correction Act

This bill officially restores approximately 16,000 acres of land, known as the La Paz lands, to the Colorado River Indian Reservation by correcting a boundary dispute dating back to 1915. The federal government would hold this land in trust for the Colorado River Indian Tribes, effectively returning control of the area to the tribal government while excluding certain state-owned lands.

For local citizens and property owners, the bill protects all existing leases, mining claims, and rights-of-way, ensuring that current land uses and access points remain valid. While the bill expands tribal jurisdiction, it specifically prohibits the development of any gambling or gaming facilities on the restored land. Additionally, the federal government maintains the right to access the area for river maintenance and irrigation projects.
