To restore Federal recognition to the Ruffey Rancheria of California, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Rep. Doug LaMalfa — R — CA
H.R. 3535 would restore federal recognition to the Ruffey Rancheria Indian tribe in California. Federal recognition would make the tribe and individual members eligible to receive benefits from various federal programs. The bill also would allow the Department of the Interior (DOI) to take into trust property currently owned by the tribe which could permit certain types of gaming on those lands if DOI determines that the land is eligible to be used for such purposes under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
