To direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey to the Nisqually Indian Tribe the Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure.
Summary
H.R. 7515 would direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey the Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure to the Nisqually Indian Tribe. This bill, introduced in February 2026, is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
If enacted, this legislation would transfer ownership and control of the hatchery facility from federal management to the Nisqually Indian Tribe. The practical effect would be to give the tribe direct authority over the hatchery's operations and management. This could affect how the facility is operated, maintained, and used for fish propagation and tribal resource management purposes.
As a standard bill, H.R. 7515 would require presidential signature to become law. The bill remains in its early stages of the legislative process and may undergo changes or amendments during committee review.
