(a) Trust relationship restored or confirmed; statutory provisions
applicable; eligibility for Federal services and benefits
The Federal trust relationship is restored to the Shivwits,
Kanosh, Koosharem, and Indian Peaks Bands of Paiute Indians of Utah
and restored or confirmed with respect to the Cedar City Band of
Paiute Indians of Utah. The provisions of the Act of June 18, 1934
(48 Stat. 984), as amended [25 U.S.C. 461 et seq.], except as
inconsistent with specific provisions of this subchapter, are made
applicable to the tribe and the members of the tribe. The tribe and
the members of the tribe shall be eligible for all Federal services
and benefits furnished to federally recognized Indian tribes.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any law
establishing such services or benefits, eligibility of the tribe
and its members for such Federal services and benefits shall become
effective April 3, 1980, without regard to the existence of a
reservation for the tribe or the residence of members of the tribe
on a reservation. For the purpose of providing for Federal services
and benefits, the service area shall be Iron, Millard, Sevier, and
Washington Counties, Utah, except that should lands in any other
county be added to the reservation pursuant to section 766(c) of
this title, the service area shall also include the area on or near
the additions to the reservation.
(b) Restoration of rights and privileges
Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, all rights
and privileges of the tribe and of members of the tribe under any
Federal treaty, Executive order, agreement, or statute, or under
any other authority, which were diminished or lost under the Act of
September 1, 1954 (68 Stat. 1099) [25 U.S.C. 741 et seq.], are
hereby restored, and such Act shall be inapplicable to the tribe
and to members of the tribe after April 3, 1980.
(c) Hunting, fishing, or trapping rights not restored
This subchapter shall not grant or restore any hunting, fishing,
or trapping right of any nature, including any indirect or
procedural right or advantage, to the tribe or any member of the
tribe.
(d) Effect on property rights or obligations, contractual rights or
obligations, or obligations for taxes
Except as specifically provided in this subchapter, nothing in
this subchapter shall alter any property right or obligation, any
contractual right or obligations, or any obligation for taxes
already levied.
