H.R. 1031 would  direct the Department of the Interior (DOI) to take into trust approximately
700 acres of land in San Diego County, California, owned by the Pala Band of Mission
Indians. Under the bill, DOI would hold title to that land for the benefit of the tribe. The
legislation also would prohibit certain types of gaming on those lands. Using information
provided by DOI, CBO   estimates that any administrative costs to implement H.R. 1031
would not be significant.

H.R. 1031 would  impose an intergovernmental mandate as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates  Reform Act (UMRA).   The bill would prohibit state and local governments from
taxing land taken into trust for the Pala Band of Mission Indians. Based on information from
San Diego County, the taxable value of the land that would be placed into trust is
approximately $2.3 million. That taxable value indicates that foregone property tax and fee
revenues would fall significantly below the annual threshold established in UMRA
($84 million in 2020, adjusted annually for inflation).

The bill contains no private-sector mandates.

The CBO   staff contacts for this estimate are Jon Sperl (for federal costs) and Rachel Austin
(for mandates). The estimate was reviewed by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Director of
Budget Analysis.
