This law limits new Indian reservations in two states. No new reservation, and no addition to an existing one, can be created in New Mexico or Arizona unless Congress passes a law to do it.
This section says no Indian reservation can be created within the borders of the states of New Mexico or Arizona. It also blocks adding more land to a reservation that already exists there. The only way to create or expand a reservation in either state is for Congress to pass an Act allowing it.

No Indian reservation shall be created, nor shall any additions be made to one heretofore created, within the limits of the States of New Mexico and Arizona, except by Act of Congress.
