U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 958. Organization and transfer of title to legal entity
The band may, at any time it wishes to do so, organize a legal
entity under the laws of the State of California and request the
Secretary to transfer to such legal entity title to the lands in
the reserves established by section 953(b) of this title. The
Secretary shall transfer an unrestricted title to such property if
the organization of the legal entity and request for the transfer
have been approved by a majority of the adult members of the band
who are eligible to vote, and if in the judgment of the Secretary
the legal entity is organized in a form and manner that is fair to
all members of the band: Provided, however, That if the lands to
which the proviso to the fourth item in section 953(b) of this
title is applicable are transferred to such an entity, they shall
be held by it subject to the terms provided in said proviso, and
the rights and duties therein set forth shall be preserved and
reflected in any distribution of securities of, or other evidences
of participation in, said entity.
