What this bill does
H.R. 10208 would restrict how a specific parcel of federal trust land in San Diego County, California—about 8.6 acres held in trust for the Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians—can be used. Under the bill, the land could only be used to provide health and social services for members of Indian Tribes. It explicitly prohibits using the land for gaming (both Class II and Class III, as defined under federal Indian gaming law) or any other commercial activities. This restriction would automatically expire 50 years after the bill becomes law.
The bill primarily affects the Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians, whose trust land is subject to these use limitations, as well as any tribal members who might receive health or social services on the site. It also has implications for federal oversight of Indian trust lands, since the restriction is written to apply "notwithstanding any other provision of law," meaning it would override other legal authorities regarding permissible uses of the parcel during the 50-year period.
The bill was introduced on September 1, 2026, by Rep. Darrell Issa and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources, which has jurisdiction over Indian affairs and trust land matters. As an introduced bill, it has not yet been considered by the committee, and would need committee action, House passage, Senate passage, and presidential signature before becoming law.
