This section defines terms for the Grand Ronde Land Transfer Act of 2026, including Grand Ronde as the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon, Grand Ronde Conveyance Land as approximately 18,628 acres of Federal land depicted on the referenced map, the Map as the Forest Service map entitled “Grand Ronde Land Transfer Act of 2026” and dated July 23, 2026, and the Secretary as the Secretary of the Interior.

This section transfers administrative jurisdiction over the Grand Ronde Conveyance Land from the Secretary of Agriculture to the Secretary of the Interior. It places all right, title, and interest in the land into trust for the benefit of Grand Ronde, makes the land part of the Grand Ronde Reservation, and requires the Secretary to complete a survey and legal description of the land within 2 years after enactment.

This section preserves any existing rights or claims of Grand Ronde to the conveyance land. It applies federal unprocessed log export restrictions to the land and prohibits class II or class III gaming on land taken into trust. It requires the Secretary to enter a memorandum of agreement within 180 days securing administrative access and to provide all existing reciprocal right-of-way agreements, which Grand Ronde must maintain in perpetuity. It exempts the land from federal land use planning requirements under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 and the Act of August 28, 1937, while requiring forest management under applicable federal and tribal laws and keeping the land open to public hunting, fishing, and recreation, subject to Grand Ronde restrictions for safety, administration, wildlife, or emergencies.
