A bill to direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey to the Nisqually Indian Tribe the Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure, and for other purposes.

S. 4014 would direct the Secretary of the Interior to convey the Clear Creek Hatchery infrastructure to the Nisqually Indian Tribe. This transfer would give the tribe ownership and control of the hatchery facility, which is currently under federal management.

If enacted, this bill would allow the Nisqually Indian Tribe to directly manage and operate the hatchery infrastructure. This could affect local fish populations, tribal sovereignty over natural resources in their region, and how the hatchery is operated going forward. The practical impact would depend on how the tribe chooses to manage the facility and what resources they dedicate to its operation.

Currently, the bill has only been introduced in the Senate and has not advanced to committee review. Most introduced bills do not progress further in the legislative process.
