Prohibits such transfer from including the 12.82 acres of lands more or less, including the facilities, improvements, and appurtenances associated with the existing 230kV transmission line in San Diego County and its 300 foot corridor, which shall be sold by BLM for fair market value to the San Diego Gas & Electric Company not later than 30 days after the completion of the cadastral survey and appraisal described in this Act.

Requires: (1) conveyance of the utility corridor to the Gas & Electric Company; and (2) the Company to pay the costs of carrying out the conveyance of the utility corridor, including any associated survey and appraisal costs.

Allows the transferred lands to be used only as open space and for the protection, preservation, and maintenance of archeological, cultural, and wildlife resources. Bars the construction of any roads on such lands other than for maintenance purposes. Prohibits the development of infrastructure or buildings on the transferred land.

Prohibits the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Mission Indians from conducting gaming activities or activities conducted in conjunction with the operation of a casino: (1) as a matter of claimed inherent authority; or (2) under any federal law, including the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (including any regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the Interior or the National Indian Gaming Commission under such Act).
