Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
This bill limits the use of an approximately 8.6-acre parcel of trust land in San Diego County taken into trust for the Ewiiaapaayp Band of Kumeyaay Indians to provision of health and social services for members of Indian Tribes. It expressly prohibits class II and III gaming and any other commercial activities on the parcel.
Liberals emphasize tribal healthcare benefits and worry about paternalism.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly focused substantive policy change that is clear in purpose and geographic specificity but limited in implementation detail, enforcement provisions, fiscal acknowledgment, and handling of edge cases.

The authorization terminates 50 years after enactment and defines the covered land and "Indian Tribe."
Content is narrow and low-cost so plausible to pass, but tribal consent, Senate procedure, and prioritization create uncertainty.
