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.

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
