Puyallup Tribe Land Confirmation: 17 Acres Placed in Federal Trust.

This law places approximately 17 acres of land owned by the Puyallup Tribe in Pierce County, Washington, into federal trust status. This action formally incorporates the land into the Puyallup Reservation, subjecting it to federal and tribal jurisdiction rather than state or local laws. Crucially, the law explicitly prohibits the use of this specific acreage for any form of casino or gaming activities.
Key points
Jurisdiction Change: 17 acres of Puyallup Tribe land in Washington are transferred to federal trust status, becoming part of the Reservation.
Gaming Prohibition: The newly incorporated land is permanently restricted from being used for Class II or Class III gaming (casinos/bingo).
Environmental Liability: The U.S. government assumes no liability for any environmental contamination that occurred on the land prior to the transfer into trust.
